  •  
  • Following the evaluation of the files, the Erasmus+ Office informs all candidates of their status as admitted / reserve / rejected.

Funding In accordance with the funding rules established by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ Programme Guide and by the National Agency for Community Programmes in the Field of Education and Vocational Training through the National Call, the individual grant for an Erasmus+ training mobility awarded for mobilities carried out in third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ Programme in the 2025-2026 academic year includes:
     
  1. financial support for travel expenses (the travel grant is a lump sum, awarded based on the distance to the destination, calculated according to the European Commission’s distance calculator);
  2.  
  3. financial support for subsistence expenses for the 5 days of mobility;
  4.  
  5. financial support for subsistence expenses for one travel day (before the first day/after the last day of mobility).
Useful Information Candidates selected for Erasmus+ training mobilities may need to obtain a residence visa[1] abroad in EU member states or in third countries where the mobility takes place. The EU Immigration Portal contains general information regarding both short-term and long-term visas and residence permits: https://ec.europa.eu/immigration/. It is recommended to request the necessary authorizations from the competent authorities in advance (before the start of the mobility), as the process can take several weeks.
