Applications are accepted continuously until funds are exhausted, with priority given to mobility to TOP 250 institutions in THE and QS.

• Within Europe: minimum 2 days, maximum 12 days
• Outside Europe: minimum 2 days, maximum 19 days
• As part of the general mobility program, teachers participating in mobility can receive a maximum of 2 travel days of subsistence support, based on the institution’s decision. Subsistence support for travel days can be provided for a maximum of 1 day before the activity starts and 1 day after the end date of the activity. In case of application, the scope of supporting documents will be extended to include travel documents that verify the date of travel.
