ERASMUS – KA171

General information about the program

MOBILITY OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AND STAFF - COOPERATION WITH PARTNER COUNTRIES

In Action 1 "Learning Mobility" in Erasmus +, universities can obtain funding for student and staff exchanges with program countries and exchanges with partner countries from other regions of the world (KA171).

Learning mobility with Partner Countries is funded from sources other than mobility between Program Countries, therefore interested HEIs must submit a separate application. The competition rules are different than for mobility between Program Countries.

A mobility project may involve cooperation with one or more partner countries.

An exchange project with Partner Countries can cover the following types of mobility:

• Students' incoming / outgoing mobilities to complete part of their studies at a foreign partner university;

• Incoming / Outgoing mobilities of academic teachers to conduct didactic classes for students of a foreign university;

• Incoming / Outgoing mobilities of university employees for training purposes.

Individual beneficiaries (students and university employees) apply for mobility at their home university.

Students and employees coming to Polish universities from universities in partner countries receive a grant (scholarship) from a Polish institution under a financial agreement that this institution will sign with the National Agency.
