In order to better meet the diverse learning and training needs of doctoral students and to ensure equal opportunities, beginning in fall 2022 there is the possibility for doctoral students to complete a short-term study period in Europe.


DURATION OF SHORT TERM MOBILITIES

Erasmus+ supports short-term mobilities of 5 to 30 days (depending on budgetary coverability).


ERASMUS+ GRANTS

The grant is 70 euros per day for the first 14 days of stay and 50 euros per day for the remaining days of stay (up to a maximum of 30 days). Students with lower opportunities will receive an additional grant. (Grant amount may change)
