Green Erasmus
The Erasmus+ Programme actively contributes to the new European growth strategy, the European Green Deal. As mobility is at the core of Erasmus+, the programme promotes sustainable modes of transport and responsible behaviour. Erasmus+ students receive a travel grant, the amount of which depends on the distance between the home and host institutions. If more than 50% of the journey is completed using sustainable means of transport (train, bus, car-sharing, bicycle), a higher “green travel” rate applies.
Travel grant rates for a round trip:
10–99 km: ~ €56 (sustainable/green rate)
100–499 km: ~ €285
500–1999 km: ~ €417
2000–2999 km: ~ €535
3000–3999 km: ~ €785
4000–7999 km: ~ €1188
Over 8000 km: ~ €1735
In addition, students may receive extra travel days (additional individual support for travel days) added to their mobility period if the journey takes longer (e.g. more than 8, 16 or 32 hours and qualifies as green travel).
The specific amount for each student is calculated individually based on travel distance and the extent to which sustainable transport is used, and must be documented in the grant application.
