International Credit Mobility
Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) is an exchange programme between universities in the EU (Programme Countries) and universities outside the EU (Partner Countries). Its main purpose is to support international cooperation and give students and staff the opportunity to gain academic and professional experience in a different country.

How can you apply?
Please contact your home university Erasmus+ coordinator for more information on ongoing projects and inquiries related to the future collaborations within Erasmus+ ICM projects. To apply, you need to be selected by your home university.
Duration of the mobility
The duration of student and staff mobility depends on the specific project and the funding awarded by the European Commission to the partner universities.
-
Study stay – the main goal is to study for a semester or an entire academic year.
-
Traineeships – the main goal is to work for a foreign institution. Such a stay is usually shorter than a semester. The minimum duration is 2 months.
-
Short-term Ph.D. mobility – designed for doctoral students. The length varies from 5 to 30 days.
How are stays funded?
-
The Erasmus+ scholarship is a fixed monthly/daily amount, which varies according to the length of stay and the destination country.
-
All information about funding, including the increase in the green mode of travel and inclusion (students with specific needs and limited opportunities) can be found in Erasmus+ Programme Guide.
-
You are entitled to a higher scholarship if you choose an environmentally friendly mode of transport to travel to and from the destination. The following are considered ecological modes of transport: train, bus, bicycle, or shared car (carpooling).
Please note that the latter is not considered carpooling when someone takes you to the place of mobility and returns without you (family, friends).

Your scholarship can be increased if you are a student with specific needs (e.g. disabilities) or limited opportunities (e.g. socio-economic disadvantages). For further information, please contact .
