Principles of financing mobility for studies in the Erasmus+ program for students of the Poznań University of Economics in the winter or summer semester of the academic year 2023/2024 from the ERASMUS+ program funds under the agreement 2022-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000053595 and 2023-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000125996

1.The principles of financing student mobility have been developed based on:

– Erasmus+ Program Guide, Rules for Allocation and Use of Funds for Educational Travel (Mobility) in Higher Education in the 2022 and 2023 editions;
– Financial agreements for the Erasmus+ Program Project, concluded between FRSE and the Poznań University of Economics,

-guidelines of the Erasmus National Agency.
The term of the Erasmus+ Program contract in the academic year 2023/2024.

Project 2022-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000053595 is valid from June 1, 2022 to May 31, 2024.

Project 2023-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000125996 is effective from June 1, 2023. through May 31, 2025.

The mobility must be completed in the 2023/2024 academic year. Funding for extended study time (following semester within the same academic year) depends on the home university’s Erasmus+ funding. In case of lack of funds, the extension of stay will be possible only with zero funding.

Student mobility for one semester (winter) will be financed from the project budget 2022-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000053595 until funds are exhausted.

Long-term student study mobility (SMS) from the project in the winter semester:

Group 1 – Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden 550 €.
Group 2 – Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.
Group 3 – Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Hungary €450

Long-term student study trips (SMS) annual trips and in the spring semester from the 2023 project:

Group 1 – Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden 670 €.
Group 2 – Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain.
Group 3 – Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Hungary €600

3.1 A student will receive an Erasmus+ grant for the period of study abroad calculatedwith accuracy to one day. For billing purposes, the European Commission has assumed that one month equals 30 days. In the case of incomplete months, the scholarship amount will be calculated by multiplying the number of days in the incomplete month by 1/30 of this amount. Example of scholarship calculation: study stay in Bulgaria from 01.10.2023 to 15.01.2024 is: October (30) + November (30) + December (30) + January (15) = 105 days = 3 months and 15 days. The monthly rate for study in Bulgaria is €450. Maximum scholarship amount: 3 x 450 + (450/30)*15=1350+225, which is €1575.

3.2 Students with fewer opportunities (qualified for a the exchange in the Erasmus+ program in the 2023/2024 academic year) who have submitted to tIRO a decision on a social grant or a disability certificate will receive a supplementary payment to individual support under the EU Erasmus+ grant of €250 per month. The definition of “persons with fewer opportunities” includes:

– persons with disabilities (Disability Decision)
– Persons from impoverished backgrounds (Decision of the university to grant a social grant or a group of students meeting the criteria specified in the rector’s order).

3.3 The grant received from the Erasmus+ program is intended to cover additional and not full costs related to the students’ departure and stay at the host university – it is a type of support as a contribution to their additional travel and living expenses related to the period of study or internship abroad.

Green travel
Students may choose to travel both trips using green travel (green travel – travel using low-emission modes of transportation such as bus, train or car sharing of min. 2 people for the same purpose ). In this case, they will receive a one-time payment of EUR 50 as a supplement to individual support after submitting a written statement on the means of transportation (applies to the return trip there and back), and if necessary, they can receive up to 2 days of additional individual support to cover the cost of the return trip. If traveling by train or bus, it will be necessary to send scans of tickets documenting travel to the foreign university.

5.Period of funding for mobility.
5.1 The period of study is considered to be the duration of the student’s physical stay at the host university not longer than the period between the beginning of the first activities intended for foreign students (e.g., language course organized by the host university, orientation program, didactic classes) and the end of the first examination session (or classes if the examination session is in progress; the re-takes are not taken into account). The course must be included in the Learning Agreement even if the student does not receive ECTS credits.

5.2 The student’s stay at the university must be no shorter than 2 months and no longer than an academic year[1].

5.3 The total period of stay abroad (mobility capital), at a given degree level, within the framework of the Erasmus+ program cannot exceed 12 months (including possible language preparation, examination sessions and internship).

6.Rules for determining the amount of individual funding (depending on the length of stay).

6.1 The final amount of funding from the Erasmus+ budget will be determined by the university on the basis of a certificate from the host university specifying the start and end dates of the mobility period (Certificate of attendance).

6.2 If the period of stay is shorter (ends earlier), up to 5 days, than the one indicated in the agreement, the amount of the grant will not be changed. If the student’s stay is shorter by more than 5 days, then the length of stay and the resulting amount of individual support will be adjusted (the student will receive a proportionally reduced final installment of the grant or will be required to repay a part of the  grant within the period specified by the University for all days of the shortened stay).

If the period of stay is shorter than the required minimum duration of mobility, i.e. 60 days, the student will be required to return the entire grant already received.

6.3 Extension of the student’s stay abroad, should be reported by the student (via e-mail) only during the mobility at the host university (at least 30 days before the end of the stay indicated in the financial agreement), certified in the Certificate of attendance may be recognized by the home university after the student submits an explanation of the reasons for extending the study time (the student’s obligatory attendance at the university resulting from passing exams at a different time, participation in classes, confirmed by the host university).

Funding for the extended study time depends on the home university’s funding from the Erasmus+ program. In the absence of funds, the extended period will be considered a period with zero funding.

6.4 A change in the duration of study will necessitate an amendment or supplement to the contract in the form of an addendum or unilateral notification to the student of the change.

7.Rules for payment of financial support.
Payment of the scholarship to students going for one semester will be made in two installments:

The first, no later than 30 days from the date of signing of the Agreement by both parties , in the amount constituting the entire scholarship specified in Article 3 less half of the monthly rate. In a situation where the Participant does not provide the required documents within the timeframe specified by the University, a later advance payment is exceptionally allowed.
The remaining amount of the stipend will be paid after the Participant submits a certificate of attendance, an individual trip report in the online EU survey system (on the Beneficiary Module platform). The University has 30 calendar days to pay the remaining amount or to issue a refund order, if such a refund is due. In a situation where the Participant fails to provide the required documents within the timeframe specified by the University (fails to complete the formalities), a later payment is exceptionally permissible.

ayment of the scholarship to students going to the host university for the academic year will be made in three installments:

The first installment, which is half of the total scholarship amount and is reduced by half of the monthly scholarship rate within 30 days from the date of signing of the Agreement by both parties.
The second installment in the amount of the scholarship less the paid amount of the first installment, after the delivery of a certificate of attendance at the host university in the winter semester (Certificate of attendance).
The third installment amounting to half of the monthly stipend rate will be paid after the Participant submits a certificate of length of stay covering the entire period of mobility, an individual mobility report in the online EU survey system (on the Beneficiary Module platform). The University has 30 calendar days to pay the remaining amount or to issue a refund order, if such a refund is due. In a situation where the Participant fails to provide the required documents within the timeframe specified by the University (fails to complete the formalities), a later  payment is exceptionally permissible.

The amount of the grant cannot be increased after the end of the mobility. If the confirmed period of stay is longer than the one stipulated in the grant agreement (and the extension has not been notified with justification in the required time, during the mobility), the additional days will be considered a zero grant period.

8. Settlement of the mobility.
The student undertakes to provide/complete online the documents required by the home university (i.e.: Certificate of attendance at the foreign university – Certificate of attendance, mobility report – participant’s individual trip report online EU survey) after the end of the mobility period, no later than 30 days after the end of the stay abroad.

UEP reserves the right to make changes to the content of the rules regarding the implementation of Erasmus+ participants’ trips. These changes may result from new arrangements communicated by the European Commission and the National Agency during the project.

The scholarship stay must be started and completed within the stated contract period. In order to make financial settlements, PUEB stipulated that all trips, regardless of the source of funding, must be completed by February 29, 2024.

4. Amount of individual support – scholarship rates

The scholarship (grant) received is intended to cover additional, not full, costs associated with the trip and stay at the host institution. The National Agency (NA), based on the guidelines of the European Commission, in consultation with the national authority responsible for higher education, has determined the following scholarship rates applicable to a given project to particular groups of destination countries:

Internship trips subsidized by the Erasmus+ program in the edition financed by contract 2022-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000053595

Group countries Basic monthly stipend rate in the Erasmus+ program.

Group 1 – 700 EUR

Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden

Group 2 – 700 EUR

Group 3 – 600 EUR

Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Estonia, Republic of North Macedonia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey

Trips in the first instance will be financed from the 2021 project edition, until the project funds are exhausted. Internships financed from the 2021 project edition can start on 20.06.2023 and should end before 30.09.2023 due to the deadline for settlement of project funding. Departures carried out outside of the aforementioned deadline, and departures whose end date is planned after 20.06.2023 will be financed from the 2022 project funds and should end before 29.02.2024

The participant will receive individual support under the Erasmus+ program for the period of practice abroad calculated to the nearest day. For billing purposes, the European Commission has assumed that one month equals 30 days. In the case of incomplete months, the amount of the grant will be calculated by multiplying the number of days in the incomplete month by 1/30 of this amount.

Example for calculating the amount of the stipend: the stay on internship in Austria from 01.03 to 15.06.2022 is: March (30) + April (30) + May (30) + June (15) = 105 days = 3 months and 15 days. The monthly rate for an internship in Austria is 650EUR. Maximum stipend amount: 3 x 650 + (650/30)*15=1950+325= 2275EUR.

4.1 The scholarship received is intended to cover additional and not full costs related to the trip and stay at the host university – it is a kind of support (grant).

4.2 Students who meet the criteria included in the definition of “persons with fewer opportunities” (financially disadvantaged or disabled persons) will be eligible for the internship trip from the contract 2022-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000053595 and will receive from the program budget an additional amount of EUR 250 for each month of stay.

Students with documented entitlement to a social grant from PUEB or a disability certificate on the date of the university’s recruitment decision relating to internship trips with funding from contract 2022-1-PL01-KA131-HED-000053595 will be treated as having fewer opportunities.

Individuals with a current disability certificate may apply for funding for other than standard travel and living expenses while abroad (based on a separate application submitted to NA). Detailed information will be provided by the IRO.

4.3 Students who become eligible for a social grant at PUEB during a placement trip with Erasmus+ funds will not be entitled to increased funding.

4.4 Any issues not covered by the above provisions will be considered on a case-by-case basis while respecting the student’s right to equal and fair treatment. Decisions will be made by the Vice-Rector for Research and International Relations.

5. Funding period

5.1 The internship stay shall not be shorter than 2 months (60 days).

5.2 The University guarantees funding of the internship for up to 90 days. The remaining period of the internship will be considered a zero-funded internship period. Each student/graduate/doctoral student may go on internship, under one qualification and receive funding only once.

6. Rules for determining the final amount of individual funding (depending on the length of stay)

6.1 The final amount of funding from the Erasmus+ budget will be determined by the university on the basis of a certificate from the host institution specifying the start and end dates of the mobility period (Certificate of Attendance).

6.2 If a participant shortens his/her stay on the placement, the home university will require him/her to return part of the grant (the amount calculated proportionally to the shortened stay) or the entire grant in the situation of a stay shorter than 60 days.

6.3 Extension of the participant’s stay abroad, certified in the Certificate of Attendance, may be recognized by the home university after the participant submits an explanation of the reasons for the extension to the home university at least two weeks before the end of the stay. Funding for the extended internship period depends on the home university’s funding from the Erasmus+ program, the maximum funding covers a period of 90 days. In case of lack of funds, the extended period will be considered a period with zero funding. After the end of the internship, it is not possible to increase the funding for the extended period.

6.4 A change in the duration of the internship will necessitate an amendment or supplement to the contract in the form of an addendum or unilateral notification of the change to the mobility participant.

In the case of long-term student mobility, with the obligation to comply with the minimum duration of the trip, if the confirmed period of stay in the organization is shorter than that agreed in the agreement or any addendum to the agreement, and the difference is greater than 5 days, the participant will be called to refund part of the grant in proportion to the duration of the shortened stay. In the case of a confirmed period of stay of less than or equal to 5 days in relation to that agreed in the contract or any annex to the contract, reimbursement will not be required.

7. Supplementary payment to individual support for travel using environmentally friendly means of transport, so-called “green travel”.

In the case of travel using low-emission means of transport such as bus, train, boat or joint car ride of a minimum of 2 people for the same purpose, the Participant will receive a one-time surcharge on individual support in the amount of EUR 50. In the case of using sustainable means of transportation, a statement signed by the person receiving the subsidy will be the supporting document. The Participant will also be required to keep proof of travel and present it to the University upon request.

8. Principles of management of released funds (rules of re-distribution).

8.1 First of all, the additional funds will be used to subsidize more mobility (number of outgoing trainees). Applies to mobility participants who received zero funding for the period spent abroad under the Erasmus+ program.

8.2 In the second place, additional funds will be granted to those who will realize more months, (for which the grant was awarded) from the number of months constituting the basis for calculating the grant included in the agreement concluded between the student and the home university (refers to point 6.3). If funds are available, a student extending his/her stay will receive a grant for the entire extended period of stay or a partial grant.

9. Payment rules

9.1 The stipend shall be paid upon receipt by PUEB of funds from the Erasmus+ program.

9.2 Payment of the advance payment to Participants leaving for practice will be made in two installments:

– the first installment representing the entire subsidy less half of the monthly subsidy rate: after signing the agreement and providing the documents required by the IRO,

– the second installment representing half of the monthly grant rate: upon completion of the stay abroad and delivery to the IRO of the following documents:

– Learning Agreement for Traineeships – Section to be completed after the mobility,

– Certificate of Attendance – completed on letterhead by the host institution, signed by an authorized person and/or with the institution’s stamp,

– participant’s reports on the internship – sent to the e-mail address of the person responsible in the IRO for Erasmus + internships;

– completion of an online survey (EU Survey/Beneficiary module)

10. The University undertakes to pay the first installment of the advance payment prior to the Participant’s departure to the host organization in a situation where the Participant provides the required documents and signs the agreement three weeks before the mobility start date. In a situation where the Participant does not provide the required documents by the date specified by the University, a later advance payment is allowed.

11. The Participant undertakes to provide the documents required by the University, listed in Section 9, after the end of the mobility period, no later than 30 days after the end of the stay abroad. The University has 45 days to pay the remaining amount or to issue a refund order, if such refund is due.

1. 12. PUEB reserves the right to make changes to the content of the rules regarding the implementation of the Erasmus+ participants’ trips. These changes may result from new arrangements communicated by the European Commission and the National Agency during the course of the program.
