Application files submitted in the 2024-2025 academic year based on criteria b, c, d, e, g, and h, and deemed eligible, remain valid for the entire duration of the study cycle in which the student is enrolled and do not need to be resubmitted within that cycle. Files submitted based on financial criteria (point f) must be submitted annually during the study year in which the Erasmus+ mobility takes place.
  • for students using sustainable means of transport – “green travel” (bicycle, bus, car-pooling, or train), if these were used for the majority of the round trip (more than 50% of the distance calculated according to the European Commission’s distance calculator), the Erasmus+ grant is supplemented as follows:
    • the travel grant corresponding to the “green travel” category is awarded (according to the table above);
    • the amount corresponding to a maximum of 4 days (outside the mobility period) is awarded, if applicable, for the duration of the round trip.
  • for participants with special needs, whose physical, mental, or health-related condition is such that participation in the mobility is not possible without additional support, requiring a preparatory visit or an accompanying person during the mobility, the Erasmus grant is supplemented with amounts awarded based on real costs, according to their needs.
[1] The evaluation of social grant files for ERASMUS+ students is carried out throughout the academic year at the faculty level where the student is enrolled. [2] The file is submitted for one category only. A student can only benefit from a single Erasmus+ grant top-up per mobility.

The file is submitted physically at the Grants and Social Issues Department (Address: 7 Gheorghe Asachi St., Codrescu Campus, Residence Hall C12, room 4, Public hours: 8:00 – 16:00, lunch break: 12:30 – 13:00), ideally before bringing the documents to the Erasmus+ Department.

!!!! Incomplete files are not valid and will not be considered. !!!!!

Students may participate in selections for long-term traineeship mobilities throughout the academic year, either for placements from the faculty’s offer or provided they have an acceptance letter from an eligible host institution, as follows:
  • the selection may take place at least 30 days before the start date of the mobility (the mobility dates are specified in the selection minutes);
  • application files are submitted to the faculty secretariat or sent via email to the faculty Erasmus+ coordinator;
  • the Erasmus+ coordinator confirms the receipt of the application by email and, following the evaluation of the files, posts the results on the faculty’s website;
  • potential appeals can be sent within 24 hours after the results are posted to the Erasmus+ coordinator via email; these are analyzed and resolved within 48 hours by the Faculty Appeals Committee, and the Erasmus+ coordinator then posts the final results;
  • the Erasmus+ coordinator sends the selection minutes to the International Relations Office immediately after the selection process is concluded and informs the selected students about the need to contact the Erasmus+ mobility officer within the International Relations Office.

RECOGNITION AND EQUIVALENCE OF ERASMUS+ TRAINEESHIP MOBILITY

All Erasmus+ mobilities are carried out, from an academic perspective, based on a traineeship contract (Learning Agreement Student Mobility for Traineeships – Annex 5), which is signed by the student, the Erasmus+ coordinator of the faculty where the student is enrolled, and the supervisor/mentor from the partner institution.

From an academic point of view, the Learning Agreement serves as a contract. This agreement describes the traineeship programme (work plan and activities) mutually agreed upon by the student, the home faculty, and the host institution, and includes the list of courses or the number of ECTS credits that will be recognized and credited upon return.

Upon returning from the placement, the activities carried out at the host institution will be automatically recognized for the student, according to the traineeship agreement signed before the start of the mobility; the certification of result recognition, as well as the equivalence of grades obtained, will be performed by the committee designated at the faculty level and approved by the Executive Board of the University’s Administration Council. The recognition and equivalence committee consists of 1 to 3 members, depending on the number of departments in the faculty, and must include the faculty Erasmus+ coordinator and the ECTS coordinator who signs the Erasmus traineeship agreements (if this is a different person than the Erasmus coordinator).

The equivalence of grades will be carried out according to the following principles:
  • all subjects specified in the traineeship agreement signed before the start of the mobility at the host institution will be recognized upon return;
  • equivalence will be granted based on a request for equivalence completed and signed by the beneficiary student (form here), together with a copy of the Certificate of Stay and the Traineeship Certificate, which will subsequently be submitted for approval to the faculty-level recognition and equivalence committee;
  • the principle for grade recognition is that for a UAIC course, the grade corresponding to the mark obtained at the host university is awarded, which can range from 1 to 5, where: 1 = poor/unsatisfactory, 2 = satisfactory, 3 = good, 4 = very good, 5 = excellent.
  • grades are determined by the faculty recognition committee and not by each individual course instructor.
At the end of each semester, the Erasmus+ coordinator from each faculty will submit the equivalence certificates for all students who benefited from Erasmus traineeships in that semester to the Erasmus+ Department.

Students who, as a result of participating in an Erasmus+ traineeship, cannot attend the exam session at UAIC, and whose traineeship agreement does not provide for the equivalence of all subjects for that semester, may request the course instructors/faculty dean for an early examination before departure, upon completion of the traineeship, or during the special exam and graduation session in September (this special session is organized with the approval of the UAIC Executive Board and Senate).
