Green Erasmus
Within the Erasmus+ programme, we place a strong emphasis on sustainability and environmental protection. One of the key measures is the promotion of environmentally friendly modes of transport, especially for journeys up to and including 500 km.
We therefore require an affidavit and justification if you do not use environmentally friendly means of transport such as train, bus, carpooling or other low-emission alternatives for these journeys. This measure is in line with the European Union's priorities for sustainable development and helps to reduce the carbon footprint of our mobilities.
Mobility of employees with severe disabilities
If the medical condition of the mobility participant requires increased travel or subsistence costs, the staff member may apply for additional financial support in addition to the regular Erasmus + grant.
