For nearly 30 years, Europe has funded Erasmus programme, which has enabled over three million European students to spend part of their studies in another higher education institution or in a company in Europe. Erasmus+ now opens up these opportunities, allowing for mobility of students and staff, from and to other parts of the world (between the so-called "Programme" and "Partner Countries").
Starting from the 2019/2020 academic year, it will be possible for IAU students and staff to study respectively teach/train in institutions based in Partner Countries, as long as an "inter-institutional agreement" has been signed before the mobility takes place.
For traineeships, the receiving organisation can be any private or public organisation active in the labour market or in the fields of education, training and youth.
ELIGIBLE COUNTRIES
The Erasmus+ Programme is open to the following countries:
Grant Opportunities for Students
An institution in a Partner Country can send its students and/or staff to a partner institution in a Programme Country and vice versa. Students can study abroad for a minimum of three months up to a maximum of 12 months, and may benefit from an Erasmus+ grant to help with living costs.
From 2017, there will also be opportunities for students to undertake a traineeship in a Programme Country. Staff can spend up to two months teaching and/or training abroad, and may also benefit from a grant.
In order for a mobility activity to take place, an inter-institutional agreement must be signed between the participating institutions before the mobility. This agreement ensures that the sending institution will recognize the credits gained by its students, for activities successfully completed abroad, as part of their degree upon return.
The amounts for individual support defined by National Agencies will be set as follows:

In addition to the above-mentioned amounts for individual support, IAU Erasmus+ outgoing and IAU Erasmus+ incoming students to/from Partner Countries will receive the following top-up amounts, to support them in covering their travel costs, calculated using the distance calculator supported by the European Commission (http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm ). The distance of a one-way travel must be used to calculate the amount of the EU grant that will support the round trip.
