Mobility for further education and training purposes (STT) within the Erasmus+ area
Erasmus+ Key Action KA131 - new Erasmus+ programme generation 2021-2027
Spend a week looking over the shoulders of the press officer at the Universidad de Vigo? Exchange ideas with librarians from all over Europe at a Staff Training Week in Helsinki? Brush up on your English at a language school in Limerick?
Erasmus+ supports further education and training programmes in other European countries (Erasmus+ area) for academic and non-academic staff in a variety of ways:
Possible stays abroad
Staff Training Weeks are group events organised by universities, usually lasting around one week. Some of these Staff Training Weeks are aimed at all university members, but many are aimed at specific professional groups, e.g. librarians, finance specialists, career service staff, etc.
You can search for Staff Training Weeks on the Erasmus Staff Training Platform Imotion http://staffmobility.eu/ and on the overview page of Staff Training Week offers that we have received from European universities and training providers. Please note the application deadlines and modalities of the respective providers.
Participation in a Staff Training Week is usually free of charge. You can apply for Erasmus+ STT funding to cover your travel and accommodation costs.
Similar to funding within the Erasmus area with programme countries, there are also funding opportunities outside the Erasmus area with the so-called partner countries.
General conditions
- Eligible persons and conditions of participation: Persons who are in a contractual employment relationship with UPB. A teaching assignment or fee contract is not sufficient.
- Possible duration of the training and further education programme: 2 to 60 days (excluding travel to and from the event) (if the funding takes place as part of a BIP: 5 to 60 days), thereof max. 6 funded days
Financial support
- The allocation principle is "first come, first served"
- Erasmus+ funding is limited. In general, the application deadline is at least 6 weeks before the start of the mobility programme. However, for better planning of Erasmus+ funding, we ask that you apply early.
- Full funding (per diems) for up to 6 days of stay (teaching days at the host organisation) and
- 0-2 travel days for arrival/departure by flight, boat, car
- 0-6 travel days for arrival/departure by sustainable means of transport (green travel): Train, bus, car-sharing and other sustainable means of transport. Example: If the host organisation is so far away that you have to travel 2 days by bus, you can apply for 4 additional travel days for the outward and return journey.
2023/24: valid for trips between July 1st 2024 - May 31st 2025
Financial support and country groups
The daily support is based on the cost of living in the respective destination country
Valid daily rates for the Erasmus+ Call 2023:
| Group | Funding rates | Countries |
| 1 | 180 Euro per day | Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, additionally: United Kingdom |

The amount of the travel support depends on the distance between the place of departure and destination of the mobility. This distance is standardised throughout Europe using this calculation tool.
Green travelling:
If "sustainable" means of transport are used for at least 50% of the journey, an increased travel support is paid for the corresponding distance. The following are considered "sustainable" means of transport (as at 11/2021) Train, bus, car-sharing, cycling, walking. Travelling alone by car is not covered.
The following are reimbursed:
| Distance | How much? | How much for green travelling? |
| 10 km - 99 km | 23 EUR | - |
| 100 km - 499 km | 180 EUR | 210 EUR |
