Erasmus + for students
In line with FGSES's commitment to global engagement, Erasmus+ Scholarships strive to strengthen academic and cultural connections, foster internationalization, and offer students valuable experiences abroad. Please ensure that you indicate your interest in applying for an Erasmus opportunity in the motivation section of the choice university platform.
In the framework of an Erasmus+ Partnership, we distinguish two types of grants:
- Regular Erasmus Grant: Standard financial support provided to students participating in mobility programs under the Erasmus+ initiative. It covers travel expenses, living costs, and other relevant expenses incurred during the study or work abroad period. The amount may vary based on factors such as the destination country and the duration of the mobility.
- Top-Up Grant: Additional financial support offered to students facing specific economic challenges or circumstances that might hinder their participation in the Erasmus mobility program. This supplementary grant is designed to ensure that students with financial difficulties can still benefit from the Erasmus experience. The criteria for eligibility* and the amount of the top-up grant can vary, and it is intended to address individual needs.
The table below lists the Erasmus+ destinations currently available for your program:
| University | Grant Type |
|---|---|
| Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Economics) | Regular |
| Freie Universität Berlin | Regular |
| Bologna University | Regular |
| Sciences Po Aix | Regular |
| Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) | Regular |
| Warsaw School of Economics | Regular |
| Université Catholique de Louvain (Saint-Louis – Bruxelles) | Regular |
| Koç University | Regular |
Please note that Erasmus+ opportunities (Regular/Top-Up) are limited to the destinations listed above.
How to apply?
Students must include Erasmus+ partner universities among their top five destination choices and to clearly state, in the motivation box, their wish to be considered for Erasmus+ before submitting their preferences.
Selection Criteria & Important Notes
Given the limited number of Erasmus+ grants available, selection will be competitive.
- Academic performance will be a key factor in the allocation of Erasmus+ grants.
- Particular attention will also be paid to the quality, clarity, and coherence of your motivation, as written in the motivation box on the International Mobility Project App.
When you receive your destination offer, you will be informed whether you are eligible to be considered for an Erasmus+ grant. Final confirmation will be reviewed and communicated after you accept the destination offer.
