Financial support

Depending on the funds available, the financially supported period may be shorter than the total duration of the mobility (zero grant).

Depending on the programme country group, the following uniform daily rates apply up to the 14th funding day; from the 15th to the 60th funding day, funding is 70 per cent of the daily rate:

  • Group 1: € 180 per day for Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden as well as the United Kingdom, Faroe Islands, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City
  • Group 2: € 160 per day for Estonia, Greece, Malta, Latvia, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Czech Republic, Cyprus
  • Group 3: € 140 per day for Bulgaria, Croatia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Turkey, Hungary
  • Other partner countries: € 190 per day for 5 days

In addition to these daily rates, travel costs are calculated on the basis of real distances between the origin and destination of the mobility. The distances are calculated using a calculation tool. The following amounts are reimbursed per stay:

DistanceStandard journeyGreen Travel
10 – 99 km28 €56 €

4000 – 7999 km1.188 €1.188 €

The maximum funding amount is then calculated. The exact amount is calculated in accordance with the state travel expenses law via the travel expenses office of the respective partner university

Teaching Mobility (STA)

Eligible persons

The following persons from one of the partner universities are eligible for funding:

  • Professors and lecturers in a contractual relation to the university
  • Research assistants
  • Doctoral students who teach as part of their position

Eligible mobilities

Funding is provided for guest lectureships at partner universities in a programme country or partner country..

Duration of the funding

An eligible stay lasts at least 2 days in programme countries and at least 5 days in partner countries (excluding travel days). ST mobilities in partner countries are currently funded for 5 days (plus travelling allowance).

Mobility for teaching purposes (STA) requires 8 teaching hours per full week (4 weeks = 4 x 8 hours). For mobilities that extend beyond one week (5 working days or 7 calendar days), the required teaching load is calculated on a pro rata basis (8 hours for a full week + remaining days according to the formula: 8 hours / 5 days * number of additional days).

Note: If teaching activities are combined with further education and training, the teaching load is reduced to 4 hours/week (in this case the mobility is organised as STA mobility).
