Erasmus+ grant for blended mobility

Erasmus+ offers the opportunity to apply for a grant for a short course of 5–30 days in an eligible country in Europe. This short study exchange must include a virtual component and the grant opportunity is therefore only available when you have been given confirmation from your faculty or department.

Only those who have received a link to this application from Malmö University's Erasmus+ institutional coordinator can apply for this grant.

Eligible countries

all countries within the European Union (not Sweden)
Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey

Eligibility requirements

The course that takes place on site in your host country should last 5–30 days. Only days spent in the host country count towards the grant. Your course should include a 'virtual component'. This is an element that takes place online, at a distance, and is provided by the receiving host institution. Information about this component should be described in the learning agreement.

You can receive a grant several times

It is possible to apply for an Erasmus+ grant for an internship and/or exchange studies on several occasions. The limit is for a total of 12 months in each education cycle (bachelor’s level, master’s level or PhD).

Grant 2024/2025

The grant is a contribution to the additional costs of your stay abroad, it is not intended to cover all your costs.

The grant is calculated for each day day that you are in your host country participating in the course. The amount is 79 EUR per day for the first 14 days, and 56 EUR per day for days 15–30. The full grant will be transferred to you in EUR as soon as possible before the start of the course. Please note that if you return home earlier than expected, you will have to return the amount corresponding to the remaining days.

Travel grant and green travel

Travel grant

You will automatically receive a travel grant based on the distance between Malmö and the host city. Use the European Commission's distance calculator to work out the distance you need to travel. The travel grant will be higher if you travel in a sustainable way.

You will also automatically receive two travel days and for these you receive the daily grant sum.

Green travel

If more than half of the distance of your round-trip travel from Malmö to your destination (host city) is done in a sustainable way, then the travel grant will be higher. If needed, you may also apply for up to four extra 'green' travel days and for these you receive the daily grant sum.

Green travel is defined as travel that uses low-emission means of transport for the main part of the journey, such as bus, train or carpooling. You cannot apply for green travel if you are travelling sustainably in one direction only, nor if you are travelling alone in an electric or hybrid car.

You have to apply for green travel before your departure, you may not apply retroactively.

The extra green travel days only apply if you need more than two travelling days. For example, if you are travelling sustainably, but the journey to the host city only takes one day in each direction, you do not need to apply for any green travel days.

Inclusion, possibility of an extra grant

students with a permanent or a long-term disability, including a disability caused by physical or mental illness, may apply for a special supplement
students who have minor children, regardless of whether the child accompanies or not, may apply for a special supplement, a top-up

If, for example, you have a NAIS decision, then you may apply for the top-up.

If the stay abroad would involve extra costs that exceed the above mentioned top-up, it is possible to apply for inclusion support from the Swedish Council for Higher Education for actual costs. The inclusion support for actual costs then becomes a complement to the top-up. Please contact us when you have decided to go forward with you travel to get more information and assistance.
