Erasmus+ for short mobilities

(grants for studies / placements between 5-30 days)

Type 1: Short study mobility

A short study mobility is similar to a modular subject but done abroad, awarded with a number of ECTS credits, and there are 2 subtypes:

  1. The simple short study mobility:
    • the destination can be a partner university of ASE from EU countries only (see application step 1);
    • it is composed by a short-term physical stay abroad and a compulsory virtual / online learning activity (before or after the physical mobility);
    • it can last from 5 up to 30 days;
    • it is awarded with a minimum number of 3 ECTS credits (physical and virtual component combined) in order to equivalate and replace them with a certain subject from ASE’s curriculum;
    • this mobility can also be in groups.
  2. The Blended Intensive Programme (BIP):
    • the destination must be a specialized event which is usually organised by a group of institutions or their representatives from EU countries only (see application step 1);
    • it is composed by a short-term physical stay abroad and a compulsory virtual / online learning activity (before, during or after the physical mobility);
    • it can last from 5 up to 30 days;
    • it is awarded with a minimum number of 3 ECTS credits (physical and virtual component combined) in order to equivalate and replace them with a certain subject from ASE’s curriculum;
    • this mobility can also be done in groups.

Type 2: Short placement mobility

A short placement mobility represents a traineeship / internship / volunteering project done abroad.

You can join a traineeship / internship / volunteering project anywhere in the world, if you get accepted to one. The mobility can last anything between 5 – 30 days.

The mobility must include a physical stay in the host country and a virtual/online learning activity (before or after the physical mobility) – the virtual activity is mandatory for Bachelor and Master students (the virtual activity is not mandatory for PhD students).

The host can be any public institution / private organization / university / school / company / enterprise / NGO etc except EU institutions (see application step 1).

This mobility can also be done in groups.

Facts and regulations (applicable for both types)

 

  • All Bachelor, Master, PhD students of ASE are eligible, regardless of the percent of passed exams or average grades;
  • students in their last year are eligible too;
  • IFR students are eligible too;
  • ID students are not eligible.

For each mobility, the total sum (mobility grant + extra grants) will be awarded 80% just a few days before you leave and 20% after you come back.

Extra documents (for extra grants / specific cases):

The departure can be done anytime during the year (except examination session periods), but for the application please send the documents from step 2 with at least 5 – 6 weeks before the day of the departure via email at erasmus@ase.ro. Late applications may not be accepted.

  • First, verifying your file:

You will receive an answer via email regarding any corrections that need to be made to your documents. We have a 3-5 office days response time to emails.

  • Then, signing the contract:

If your application was marked eligible then, before your departure, you will be invited to the Erasmus+ Office to sign the Financial Contract which states your grant, your period of stay and your obligations (if you cannot personally come, then it can also be signed by a person legally appointed as power of attorney; the person could just be a trusted family member, friend or acquaintance; digital signatures are not accepted).

  • PREPARE YOUR DEPARTURE (please read carefully):
    • After you sign the contract, remember that the financial support will be granted 80% a few days before you leave and 20% after you come back. Depending on the time of your application, the grant may be received with a delay.
    • You can make travel preparations in advance, (book tickets/ accomodation etc), but only after your mobility was confirmed as eligible by the Erasmus+ Office. The arrival to the mobility must be done one/more days before the start date, while the departure can be done any day after the end date. If you depart later or come back earlier than planned, you risk having to return the whole grant or a partial sum. Please check with the Erasmus+ office for any modifications.
    • Remember to preserve your travel tickets (flight boarding pass / gas station bills / bus or train ticket) because they are mandatory to proove your physical mobility to the host country. You will bring them at the end of your mobility (together with the documents from the next step).

At the end of your mobility you have the contractual obligation to physically bring to the Erasmus+ office the following:
