Erasmus+ funding

Funding rates for student mobilities (SMS)

The financial support for Erasmus+ student stays comprises a monthly funding rate that is based on the different costs of living in the destination countries ("programme countries"). Top-ups can also be applied for.

Erasmus+ funding rates for students

The funding rates are for one programme year in all of Germany. However, the study-abroad phase can also include so-called Zero Grant periods. Students have Erasmus status but receive no funding during these periods.

Funding rates for staff mobilities (STT and STA)

The financial support for Erasmus mobilities for teaching purposes (STA) or for further education and training (STT) is based on the different costs of living in the destination countries ("programme countries"). Uniform daily rates apply for funding from German universities.

Erasmus+ funding rates for university staff

The funding can also include so-called "zero grant" periods. Participants have Erasmus status but receive no funding during these periods. We will provide more detailed information on this in connection with your foreign project. 

Since 1 May 2024, funding is provided from Project 2023 funds. Erasmus+ funding of up to 10 working days is possible. Please refer to the relevant funding rates.

Travel cost grants

In addition to the daily rates, travel costs depend on the actual distances between the place of departure and destination of the mobility, which are calculated uniformly throughout Europe using the European Commission's distance calculator.

Depending on the distance, the following amounts* are reimbursed per stay.

Green travel

„Green Travel” refers to trips that use lower-emission means of transport such as rail, bus or carpooling. In this case, up to four additional travel days can be applied for in the 2023 project (two for the outward journey, and two for the return journey). Participants must justify the need for additional travel days. Please also note the travel allowance for Green Travel in the Travel cost grants tab.

Participants can provide a declaration on their honour in order to receive the top-up and get additional travel days approved. You can find these and other documents here. Please keep the relevant receipts (e.g. tickets), as these may need to be presented in the event of an audit.
