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.

The spots mentioned per country or university are available for teaching OR training mobilities.
