2nd round of Erasmus+ call for Student Mobility, professional practice (K103)

Dear Students,

The second round has been published of the Call for Applications for Student Mobility, for Erasmus+ professional practice (KA103) for the 2019/2020 academic year. The second round of the Call for Applications is aimed at students who would like to begin their professional practice in the period from 15.01.2020 -31.7.2020. The minimum length of the professional practice as part of the Erasmus+ programme is 2-12 months (calendar months).  Students may undertake their professional practice in companies, institutions, organizations and other entities with the status of legal entity, as well as at institutions of higher education that have been granted the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education. The receiving institution must be located in one of the programme member countries, which are: the EU member states and Iceland, Norway, Lichtenstein, Northern Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey.

It is not possible to practice mobility in Switzerland.

Special note related to the United Kingdom:  If the United Kingdom leaves the European Union (“Brexit”) without an agreement, mobility planned in relation to the United Kingdom will not be realized or financed.

Mobility must be realized within a programme member country different from the sending country (the university where the student is studying), and different from the country where the student is resident (where they are staying/living during their studies). The monthly financial support for professional practice within Erasmus+ and funding for the  2019/2020 academic year is divided into three categories, depending on the country the student is going to:

1. for students who are going to Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Northern Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Serbia or Turkey, the monthly amount of support is 500 €,
