After Return
Documents to Submit
Two documents that students are obliged to submit after returning from a study stay are:
-
Confirmation of Erasmus+ Period (CEP) = document confirming when you actually were on your Erasmus+ mobility
-
A template accepted by Charles University can be downloaded here. You can also download the document template in your application in the CU Web Applications. Click on the blue text “Printed Participation Agreement” (in Czech: “Vytištěná účastnická smlouva”), you will then find the form on the last page.
-
If the length of stay specified in the document is more than 5 days shorter than the original length under the Participation Agreement, the intern is obliged to return a proportional part of the scholarship. You will be informed about the specific amount and return process by the Erasmus+ Coordinator of the European Office, International Relations Office of the Charles University Rectorate.

If you fail to meet the minimum number of credits during your stay (20 for bachelor's and 15 for master's students – unless stipulated otherwise by your home faculty), it is the faculty's responsibility to evaluate the Erasmus+ stay as unfulfilled. You will then be obligated to return a proportional amount of your scholarship.
-
It is the duty of every student to apply for the recognition of study results according to the conditions set by their home faculty. The method of recognition must fully comply with the Learning Agreement. Refusal to recognise obligations under the conditions set out in the Learning Agreement (or Changes to the Learning Agreement) is a breach of the Erasmus+ rules. If your home faculty rejects to recognize your study results accordingly, contact immediately .
-
Apply for recognition of your results even if you do not necessarily need the credits and courses for your studies at Charles University. The fulfilment and recognition of study obligations is one of the main concepts behind the Erasmus+ programme and a key criterion for evaluation by the European Commission.
-
The results achieved during the Erasmus+ stay will be recorded in the Addendum to your Diploma.
-
TRAVEL GRANT - If you’re traveling sustainably:
If you chose a sustainable way of travel to and from your mobility, you will also need to submit travel documents according to the rules outlined in the section Funding of Erasmus+ Mobilities.
Evaluation reports
1/ A further obligation after returning is to fill in the final "Erasmus+ Participant Report" for the European Commission.
-
This report is the most important source of feedback for the European Commission.
-
Based on the results of these reports, universities are evaluated and allocated total funds for the Erasmus+ programme.
-
A link to the report is automatically sent after the end of the Erasmus+ mobility.
-
Look for the link for the online form in your e-mail (also check your spam) and the keyword "Erasmus+ Participant Report".
2/ We kindly ask you to also fill out a Returnee Survey on the Charles Abroad website.
-
This platform contains hundreds of returnee surveys that, in addition to useful information about different traineeships, also share practical information about life in a specific foreign country, which is very valuable for other students.
-
In the toolbar at the top, click on “I Want to Share My Experiences” and then “Returnee Student Survey”.
-
You do not need to fill out everything, sharing a couple tips with other students is enough. Trust us, they will appreciate it!
