Inclusion measures in the Erasmus+ program

The programme seeks to promote equal opportunities and access, inclusion, diversity, and fairness in all its activities. At the core of these goals are participants with fewer opportunities. With this in mind, the programme provides mechanisms and resources to make participation accessible to a wider range of students.

Students with fewer opportunities: Students who belong to one of the inclusion categories are entitled to an additional €250 per month. The pre-conditions can be found HERE. Only selected students who meet the criteria will collect the necessary documentation.

In the case of applicants with disabilities, in addition to the required application documentation, appropriate medical documentation must also be submitted. Additional information can be found HERE.

If the selected candidate is a person with disabilities, they may be entitled to reimbursement of eligible actual costs incurred during the mobility period, upon submission of additional documentation.

 

Health insurance: The insurance covering the mobility period is mandatory, but not covered by the scholarship. Students must arrange it themselves and shall receive the relevant information before mobility.
