Special funding (top ups)
The focus of the new Erasmus+ program generation 2021-27 is to raise awareness among Erasmus+ participants on the issues of sustainability, climate change and environmental protection, and in particular on the ecological footprint that participants create through their mobility. By financially supporting sustainable means of transport, the number of mobilities with more environmentally friendly means of transport shall be increased and the ecological footprint of the Erasmus+ program shall be reduced.
Furthermore, the guiding themes of social participation and diversity are central core points of the new program generation. With a variety of measures at different levels, the program aims to make a significant contribution to greater equality of opportunity.
The Erasmus+ program promotes low-emission travel. Students who use low-emission means of transport such as bus, train, carpooling, ship for the main part of their trip can receive an additional one-time grant of 50,-€. Additionally, the funding period can be extended. To apply for green travel funding, please hand in the declaration of honor which is available in the application section.

For blended mobility internships or short-term internships (doctoral mobility) abroad special funding is 100€ (physical mobility of 5-14 days) or a one-time special funding 150€ (physical mobility 15-30 days).
