Which places can I currently apply for and how do I apply for funding?
As Erasmus+ funding is limited, the worldwide Erasmus+ program can generally only approve one-week stays. The number of spots available per country therefore refers to one-week stays. If more than one spot is available in a country, two-week stays may also be possible, depending on the applicant situation, provided that these are justified.
The following places are currently available – listed by region (KA171) for clarity. Stays must be completed before the end of the respective project.
