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.

In the event that a staff member uses an environmentally friendly means of transport (in this case, train or bus only) for his entire journey to an institution more than 500 km away, he/she may be granted 2 days of extra individual support. You must prove your entitlement with valid travel documents.

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.

A grant for participants with special needs may be requested for the following items/services:

  • transport (difference in the price of ordinary transport and required above-standard transport to the place of stay and in the destination during the stay),
  • accommodation (difference in the price of the required above-standard accommodation compared to the usual one - eg a barrier-free room near the institution),
  • meals (difference in the price of the required above-standard meals compared to the usual ones - eg gluten-free foods),
