The Erasmus+ call is published every year on this page.

The call for applications and its attachments contain detailed procedures and deadlines for participating in the Erasmus+ mobility program.

The Erasmus+ programme guarantees all winners a scholarship to cover part of the costs of accommodation, travel expenses and living expenses.

The monthly amount of the scholarship is established each year by the National Agency of the Erasmus program and depends on the cost of living in the country where the mobility will take place. Below are the figures for 2024/2025:

• €400,00 for countries in group 1
• €350,00 for countries in group 2 and 3

The calculation of the grant will depend on the actual duration of the mobility period and whether or not the aforementioned period differs from that originally declared on the Certificate of stay.
At the end of the mobility period, the Office will calculate the exact amount and will be able to pay the student a balance or ask for a partial refund of the contribution already received.

Travel Contribution
An additional contribution for the round-trip travel is provided upon presentation of supporting documents at the end of the mobility period. Further details are included in the call for applications.

How does payment work?
The scholarship will be paid directly to the current account indicated in the financial agreement, in two phases:

• an initial deposit of 70% will be paid within 30 days of the student sending the Certificate of Stay stamped by the ERASMUS Office of the host University;
• the balance of the remaining 30%, to be calculated on the basis of the actual days spent on mobility, will be paid upon return, after delivery of all documents and completion of the Beneficiary report and on the basis of the actual allocations that the INDIRE agency pays to the University.

Refunds and reductions

The contributions received are subject to the obligation of total or partial restitution in the event of:

• waiver of mobility period
• stay less than the mandatory minimum period of 60 days
• reduction of the period spent abroad compared to that foreseen in the agreement (this entails a refund corresponding to the number of days not spent abroad)
• failure to complete at least 70% of the curricular activities indicated in the Learning Agreement and consequent recognition of training credits useful in one's study plan
• failure to obtain recognition for activities supported
• failure to request recognition of activities undertaken before obtaining the qualification or refusal of the recognition granted

If you have won an Erasmus+ scholarship, the first thing you will have to do is fill in theapplication (application for admission) at the destination University. You can find the information to do so on the website of the partner University, or in the information email that is generally sent after the Erasmus Office of UniRSM sends the nomination. The documents required differ depending on the destination University and may include enrollment certificates, language certifications, insurance coverage, etc.

It is also necessary to define and have approved the Learning Agreements, to be agreed in advance with the Erasmus+ scientific advisor of your course of study.

Finally, it will be necessary to sign themobility agreement, which will establish the conditions for assigning the mobility contribution.

However, it is the student's responsibility to be fully informed about the required documents and the various deadlines.

Preparatory information meetings
The Office organizes online information meetings (via Microsoft Teams) dedicated to students interested in carrying out Erasmus+ mobility, with useful information on filling out the Learning Agreement (the study program to be carried out abroad), applications, scholarships, etc.

Those who are unable to attend the meetings can inform themselves by reviewing the recording of the information meeting.

The first thing to do when you arrive at the destination University is to go to the Erasmus Office and ask for the signature of the Certificate of Stay – Arrival section, to formally start the mobility for the purposes of subsequent reimbursement. The Departure section must then be signed at the end of the period.

The Certificate of Stay must be sent to the email address outgoing@unirsm.sm within 7 days of arrival.

Procedure for modifying the Learning Agreement
The LA can be modified within 30 days from the end of the mobility period, by filling in the appropriate form (link) which must be countersigned by the scientific referents of the mobility of the two Universities and sent to the email address outgoing@unirsm.sm

Changes to the length of stay abroad
Extension
During the mobility it is possible to request an extension of the stay for educational reasons, within 1 month from the end of the mobility.
Extensions are not automatic and must always be authorised by both the Erasmus+ contact teacher at UniRSM and the person in charge of the host university.
Any extensions must be financed entirely by the student.
To request an extension of the mobility period, you must:

1. Fill in the appropriate form
2. Have the form approved and signed by the Erasmus+ contact person of your degree programme
3. Have the form approved and countersigned by the Erasmus+ contact person of the host university

To request a reduction in the mobility period, you must:

1. Fill in the appropriate form
2. Have the form approved and signed by the Erasmus+ contact person of your degree programme

La vote conversion reported abroad occurs through a comparison between the ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) grade scale of the course of study to which they belong and that of the course of study attended abroad.

The recognition application will be examined by the Course of Studies Council.
