The EU Commission supports your participation in the Erasmus+ programme with a mobility grant. There are two types of mobility abroad:

Long Term Mobility

If your studies abroad require you to be present at your host university physically for at least 2 but no more than 12 months, you will receive an Erasmus+ mobility grant in the academic year of 2023/2024 that amounts to the sums given by the EU and detailed below:

Countries of group 1 (600 EUR per month and 20 EUR per additional day)

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Ireland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom

Countries of group 2 (540 EUR per month and 18 EUR per additional day)

Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain

Countries of group 3 (490 EUR per month and 16.33 EUR per additional day)

Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey

The physical mobility phase can be combined with a virtual phase. There is no given timeframe for the virtual phase and no additional funding is possible during this time.

Short Term Mobility

If you are unable to spend extended time time abroad, you can combine a shorter physical mobility with a virtual mobility. The physical mobility must range between 5 and 30 days.

Independent of the country groups, you will receive the following funding for your mobility:

• 1-14 days: 70 EUR per day
• 15-30 days: 50 EUR per day

The physical phase must be combined with a virtual phase. There is no given timeframe for the virtual phase and no additional funding is possible during this time.

The specific amount of financial support depends on the different levels of living expenses in the host countries. The Erasmus+ grant will be paid by bank transfer after arrival at the partner university. Students who do not successfully accomplish their Erasmus+ stay abroad including examinations, will be obliged to pay back the Erasmus+ grant.

The Erasmus+ grant and associated terms are agreed upon in the ERASMUS Grant Agreement, which the OVGU International Office concludes with nominated students. The payment of the Erasmus+ grant precludes parallel funding from another EU programme. Parallel funding from a German agency or organization, for example from a scholarship foundation or Auslands-BAföG, may be possible and must be disclosed to the International Office.
