Erasmus+ outgoing mobility for traineeship

The Erasmus+ Programme helps students carry out full-time traineeship activities, recognised by their university as part and parcel of the student's study programme, in organisations (businesses, companies, professional firms and training and research centres) in one of the countries participating in the Programme. Mobility may last between 2 and 12 months (24 in the case of single-cycle degree programmes).

Trainees will have the opportunity to acquire new skills and competences, to experience and understand the culture of the host country and to deepen and develop their language skills.

The Erasmus+ programme also allows for traineeships within 12 months after graduation. In this case, mobility is only possible if students apply and are selected before their degree is awarded.

Hosting companies and/or institutions must be located in one of the following eligible areas:

1. in one of the countries associated to the Erasmus+ Programme, i.e. in one of the 26 Member States (apart from Italy) of the European Union (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the Czech Republic);
2. in one of the third countries associated to the Programme: North Macedonia, Iceland, Norway, Serbia, Lichtenstein;
3. in one of the third countries not associated to the Programme: all countries not included in the previous list.

In order to apply to the programme, it is necessary to submit an application in the framework of dedicated calls, which are expected to be published in the following periods:

• 1st call: May
• 2nd call: September/October
• 3rd call: January/February

Selected students will receive a monthly grant ranging from 700€ to 900€ per month, depending on the country of destination. See the call for applications to find out all the details and check the requirements for admission to the Programme.

The new Erasmus+ Programme for the period 2021-27 has also introduced the following new measures:

• Short-term physical mobility for doctoral candidates (5 to 30 days)
• Blended mobility
• Additional "green" grants 
• Increased grants for students with fewer opportunities
• Mobility in third countries not associated with the programme
