Note: starting in January 2027, an increase in the rates for student mobility grants is planned (travel allowance for 0–500 km: 211 EUR; for 500–2,000 km: 309 EUR; daily allowance remains at 79 EUR). If you plan to submit a project in the fall 2026 Call, consider these costs in your budget.

  • 4EU+ Bridging projects replace the previous non-project mobility scheme
  • mobilities that take place at 4EU+ partner universities without a link to a specific ongoing project
  • mobilities that do not take place at the partner institutions but have an explicit connection to 4EU+ activities (e.g. conferences, presentations of cooperation results, networking) – the link of the mobility to the Alliance must always be specified in the justification of the application
  • the programme is a financial support; students must arrange their stay at the partner university themselves in advance (no maximum length is specified, but the purpose must always be duly justified)
  • it is not a substitution for Erasmus+, Mobility Fund and other mobility schemes, but rather a complementary opportunity
  • the amount of the contribution is in accordance with the project rules
  • distance can be calculated using the E+ Distance Calculator
  • students must be students for the whole duration of their mobility
