The financial support from the Erasmus+ mobility programme for training purposes is based on the various living costs in the target countries ("programme countries"). Uniform daily rates are applicable for the support by German universities.

Since the academic year 2018/19, the following fixed daily rates are applicable in Germany for three country groups:

  • Group 1: €180 per day for Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Finland, France, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Austria and Sweden (and partner countries of Regions 13 / 14)
  • Group 2: €160 per day for Estonia, Greece, Latvia, Malta, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, the Czech Republic and Cyprus
  • Group 3: €140 per day for Bulgaria, Croatia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Turkey and Hungary

These daily rates are in addition to travel costs, which are based on the actual distances between the mobility-related departure and destination points, and determined uniformly across Europe using a calculation tool.

The following amounts are reimbursed per stay, based on the respective distance:

  • 10 km – 99 km – Standard travel: EUR 28 / Green travel: EUR 56
