Erasmus+ Mobility with Grant Option
The daily subsistence amounts to be paid to staff benefiting from the training mobility activity have been determined by the National Agency as follows, taking into account the living standards of the countries:
Country Groups | Country | Daily Grant Amount |
Group 1 |
Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom
|
144 € |
Group 2 | Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Greek Cypriot Administration, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Romania, Turkey* |
126 € |
Group 3 |

80% of the Erasmus grant is paid before departure, and the remaining 20% after return and once the procedures have been completed, into the Euro account specified by the beneficiary in the contract signed with the staff member benefiting from the teaching mobility.
The 2017-2018 Academic year mobility grant covers activities taking place between 4 April 2018 and 25 May 2018.
Staff who wish to do so may take part in the training mobility without a grant.
The grant to which higher education institution staff benefiting from training mobility are entitled is calculated by their own higher education institution within the framework of the grant calculation rules determined by the Centre (National Agency).
Staff benefiting from training mobility receive a daily/weekly subsistence allowance and a travel cost payment based on the travel distance, within the framework of the rules determined by the Centre. This payment is a contribution towards the travel and subsistence expenses relating to the period spent abroad. The travel cost payment is a contribution towards the cost of the participants' travel from their place of residence to the place of activity and back. The travel distance is calculated using the distance calculator provided by the European Commission. It is added to the participant's grant on a one-off basis.
| Resulting “km” value | Grant amount |
| Between 100-499 km | 180 € |
| Between 500-1999 km | 275 € |
| Between 2000-2999 km | 360 € |
| Between 3000-3999 km | 530 € |
| Between 4000-7999 km | 820 € |
| 8000 km and above | 1.100 € |
The grant provided to staff benefiting from training mobility is a contribution and is not intended to cover all expenses relating to the period spent abroad.
