How high is the travel grant?

Calculations for the overall travel allowance are based upon the latest Erasmus+ Programme Guide.

The overall travel allowance includes:

  • a base amount of individual support per day and
  • a travel allowance based on the distance from FAU (home institution) to the destination (hosting institution).

It is possible to receive a top-up for green travel (solely traveling by train and/ or bus) and a social top-up.

The exact amount of your travel grant will be calculated after your application and will be stated in your Mobility Agreement.

As a reference

1. Base amount of individual support per Day:  Amount (for any destination within the network)

  • Up to the 14th day of activity: 79 EUR per day
