The fewer opportunities grant within the framework of student mobility consists of 250€ per funding month, which is paid in addition to the mobility grant. The target group includes:

• Program participants with a disability of 20 or more or with a chronic illness,

• Program participants traveling abroad with their child(ren).

From project 2022 onwards also:

• Students from a non-academic background,
• working students.

In the framework of staff mobility, it is possible to apply for a special grant:

Special funding Erasmus+ staff and teaching mobility

In order to enable more students to participate in the Erasmus+ programme who are unable to complete a long-term stay abroad, more flexible mobility options are now available:

• the minimum duration of study visits is now two months (previously three months)

• PhD students can now also carry out short-term mobilities:
  see doctoral internship mobility
• Students can also participate in "blended" mobility formats (combination of short stay abroad and virtual exchange):
  see Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP)
• Students who are not able to carry out long-term mobilities can also participate in short-term mobilities, for example in Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes (BIP) or Erasmus+ Blended Short-term Internships. This is especially interesting for students with fewer opportunities (students with a disability, a chronic illness, students taking care of children and the like, see above).
