Erasmus +

Funded by the European Union, the ERASMUS+ programme promotes the mobility abroad for:
- students during a period of mobility for studies and/or internship
- administrative staff and professors for a period of teaching or training

ERASMUS+ GOES GREEN
-
The environment and climate action are priorities for the EU, now and in the future. The Green Deal for Europe Communication is the new European growth strategy and recognises the key role of schools, training institutions and universities in engaging with pupils, parents and the wider community on the changes needed for a successful transition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Under the Erasmus+ 2022-2027 programme, if a participant uses an green mode of transport, such as rail, he will be eligible for additional funding. Do not hesitate to ask your Erasmus+ coordinator.

Erasmus+ programme and mobility for people with disabilities
The Erasmus+ programme provides a particular attention to the welcome, orientation, technical and educational support, and especially to extra-costs related to mobility for people with disabilities. It is about doing what is necessary so that the person fully enjoys the European mobility experience.
Each higher education institution, by signing the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), commits to ensure equality of access and opportunities of mobility to all participants. Therefore, individuals with disabilities can benefit from support services that the hosting institution provides to its students and staff members.
Additional grant
To meet the specific needs of an individual with a disability during the mobility, an additional funding will facilitate his/her participation.
What are your additional needs?
The eligible costs for additional fundings can be various : specific accommodation, carer during the mobility, medical follow-up or home assistance.
Expenses for specific needs will only be covered on the basis of the actual costs estimated by the sending institution and clearly expressed by the participant.
The National Agency will only take into account additional costs which cannot be covered by other sources of funding. Each cost stated must be duly justified or it will be rejected.
How to apply?
Please contact the International Relations Office of your institution to help you fill in the application form for specific needs.
Do not hesitate to visit the website InclusiveMobility.eu, an online mapping tool to know more about accessibility of higher education institutions provided by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).

« Being different is neither a good nor a bad thing. It simply means that you are brave enough to be yourself. »
Albert Camus
Erasmus+ inclusion diversity policy
By signing the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, each higher education institution commits to ensuring equal access and opportunities for all participants, regardless of their background.
The Erasmus+ programme aims to promote equal opportunities and equal access, inclusion, diversity and equity throughout its actions. To implement these principles, an inclusion and diversity strategy covering all areas of the programme has been developed to support access to funding to reach more participants with fewer opportunities. Beyond Disability (see dedicated section), the following barriers to mobility have been identified and defined by the European Commission as follows:
- Health problems
- Cultural differences
- Social barriers
- Economic barriers
- Barriers linked to discrimination
- Geographical barriers
A person with fewer opportunities is a potential participant whose personal, physical, mental or health-related conditions are such that participation in the mobility project or action would not be possible without additional support (financial or otherwise).
For people with fewer opportunities, and in particular people with physical, mental or health-related problems, the grant amount may therefore be higher than the maximum amounts for individual grants indicated above.
Long-term mobility participants with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of EUR 250 per month The applicable criteria are established at national level by the National Agencies in agreement with the national authorities.
Short-term mobility participants with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of EUR 100 for a physical mobility activity lasting between 5 and 14 days and EUR 150 for an activity lasting between 15 and 30 days.
Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the course directors, the Hand’IGS referents and the Erasmus+ Coordinator.
For more information, please contact: erasmusplus@igensia.com.
A person with fewer opportunities is a potential participant whose personal, physical, mental or health-related conditions are such that participation in the mobility project or action would not be possible without additional support (financial or otherwise). The criteria are as follows:
- Living in a commune classified as a ZRR (rural revitalization zone)
- Living at an address classified as a QPV (priority urban district)
- Higher education scholarship holder on social criteria at levels 6 and 7
- Belonging to a household with a CAF family income of less than or equal to 566€
- Disabled or suffering from a long-term illness
For people with fewer opportunities, and in particular those with physical, mental or health-related problems, the grant amount may therefore be higher than the maximum individual grant amounts indicated above.
Long-term mobility participants with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of 250 EUR per month. The applicable criteria are established at national level by the national agencies in agreement with the national authorities.
Short-term mobility participants with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of 100 EUR for a physical mobility activity lasting between 5 and 14 days, and 150 EUR for an activity lasting between 15 and 30 days.
