Erasmus+ is a European program that enables any Erasmus+ charter holder to create a partnership with another charter holder.
The Erasmus+ program facilitates and encourages European mobility for students, teachers and staff of higher education establishments.
Erasmus+ Scholarship Funding Details
Students going on a university exchange to a European institution holding the ERASMUS charter are eligible for a scholarship based on criteria laid down by the European Commission. The monthly amount of the grant varies according to the host destination.
| Country of destination | Monthly amount for academic mobility | Monthly amount for internship mobility |
|---|---|---|
| Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden | €500 / month | €650 / month |

Inclusion Supplement
A flat-rate “inclusion” financial supplement of €250 per month is granted to Erasmus+ students “with fewer opportunities”, meaning those who are the most vulnerable, furthest from mobility, and in greatest need, meeting one of the following criteria:
- Having a disability or a long-term illness (ALD)
- Living in a municipality classified as a rural revitalization zone (ZRR)
- Living at an address classified as a priority urban district
- Receiving a higher education scholarship based on social criteria at levels 6 and 7
Contribution to travel fees
The lump sum amounts are determined based on distance brackets and the mode of transport used, as indicated in the table below.
Students who choose an eco-friendly mode of transport (train, bus, carpooling) to travel to their mobility destination may receive the corresponding allowance upon presentation of round-trip travel receipts.
The calculated distance will be between the administrative address of ECE and the administrative address of the partner university.
The distance will be calculated using the European platform: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/resources-and-tools/distance-calculator.
| Distance (km) | Standard Transport | Eco-friendly Transport |
|---|---|---|
| 10 to 99 km 100 to 499 km 500 to 1999 km 2000 to 2999 km 3000 to 3999 km 4000 to 7999 km more than 8000 km | €28 €211 €309 €395 €580 €1,188 €1,735 | €56 €285 €417 €535 €785 €1,188 €1,735 |
ECTS – European Credits Transfer System
The European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) simplifies student mobility between institutions and across countries. It ensures the academic recognition of studies completed abroad.
ECE has adopted this system to facilitate student mobility and the recognition of studies.
Academic Recognition
60 ECTS represent the workload of a full academic year, meaning that, in general, 30 ECTS correspond to one semester of study.
The course program at the partner university is detailed in the learning agreement, established in agreement with ECE. Credits are awarded after a successful assessment of competencies.
The ECTS system is based on the principle of transparency of results. Therefore, the host university will send ECE the mobile student’s transcript of records, following the local grading system along with the corresponding ECTS credits.
