The Erasmus+ Program

• Study Abroad for Students (SMS) and Internship Abroad for Students (SMP)
  The funding is primarily used to strengthen mobility within Europe but also with other parts of the world. Students in all study cycles up to and including doctoral studies who wish to complete a part of their studies or internship abroad are included. Students can be supported for up to 12 months in each of the bachelor's, master's and doctoral programs.
  To increase the financial incentive for a stay abroad, the monthly mobility grant for students is adjusted to the cost of living in the host countries. Funding for an internship abroad with Erasmus+ is also possible after graduation.
   
• Teacher mobility (STA) and staff mobility (STT)
  Erasmus+ also contributes to the further internationalization of higher education institutions by funding short-term lectureships and further training visits for teaching or administrative staff.
   
•  Blended Intensive Program
  Short, intensive mobility curricula can be designed together with partner universities in program countries, combining a physical short-term mobility of 5 to 30 days with a virtual component
   
• Mixed Mobilities 
  Students who cannot participate in a long-term physical mobility activity for study or internship purposes e.g. because of their field of study or because of fewer opportunities for participation, have the opportunity of a physical mobility activity by combining a short physical mobility activity with a mandatory virtual component
   
• Green Travel
  Erasmus+ aims to contribute to the awareness and minimization of the "ecological footprint" created by Erasmus mobility. Students will be supported with a top-up and funding of up to 4 travel days when using sustainable means of transport. Travel allowances for green travel will be increased.
   
• Inclusion and Diversity
  Erasmus+ aims to promote equal opportunities, inclusion, diversity and fairness in all areas. Therefore, there are opportunities for special funding for students with children, for people with disabilities or chronic illness, for students from a non-academic home, and for working students.

An important component in the internationalization of universities is the establishment and implementation of joint strategic partnerships and cooperation projects. For this purpose, Erasmus+ offers various instruments and program categories to support partnerships and cooperation projects

This key action is essentially managed by the Commission itself and serves, among other things, to support the Bologna Process, initiate cross-educational cooperation and policy dialogue with third countries.
