We are pleased to announce the opening of 1st call for applications (student and staff mobility) regarding the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility “UMove(ME) 2024” Project.

The International Credit Mobility (ICM) is part of the Key Action 1 of the Erasmus + Program and allows an higher education institution (HEI) in a Programme country to send/receive students, teaching and non-teaching staff to study, teaching and training missions to/from an HEI in a Partner country.

UMOVE(ME) provides the following financial support to the grant holders:

A) Stay allowance (the amount depends on the mobility’s direction);

B) Contribution for travel (defined by the distance between the grant holder’s home city and the host city)

Stay Allowance

Contribution for Travel

To verify the travel distance, please consult: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en

The financial support for ‘distance travelled’ is the maximum allowed by the Erasmus+ programme and is intended to contribute to round-trip travel between the home and host HEIs. In case the amount allocated is insufficient to pay for the desired trip, the grant holder must find other sources of funding. 

All selected participants are responsible for purchasing their own travel ticket, always respecting the mobility dates established and the minimum stay at the host HEI. In the case of incoming participants, the refund of the value of the trip as well as the payment of the first instalment of the stay allowance is made by bank cheque on the day of arrival. In the case of students, the scholarship payments are made in 3 parts: 50% of the scholarship is paid upon arrival of the student at the host HEI, 30% half way the mobility period, and 20% is paid upon submission of the final report. 

Online application is now open until 7 May 2025.

Interested students and staff members are kindly asked to visit the following links to access the online application portal and learn more details about the mobility.
***Please note that the applications are to be submitted by the applicants themselves***
