Duration of the mobility and contributions

Italian version

The number of financiable months of the mobility and the relative Erasmus Grant payment are determined by the Grant Agreement.

Attention: The effective duration of the mobility is determined by the Attendance Certificate, issued by the Receiving Institution. Please note that this duration can be shorter than that outlined in the Grant Agreement.

It is possible to extend the duration of the mobility up to a maximum total of 12 months. Please note that any extended months will not be financed.
It is also possible to reduce the period of mobility to a minimum of two months, (equal to 60 days).
For students carrying out exam activities, departing in the second semester or postponing the departure from the first to the second semester, the duration of the mobility will be reduced to 6 months.

For more information, please refer to the FAQs.

Financial Contributions and Benefits

The contributions and economic benefits, which are given always based on the funds available, are as follows:

  Erasmus Grant from the European Commission

The Erasmus Grant is not a complete grant, but rather a contribution for the larger expenses of living abroad.

The Erasmus Grant is paid mostly with funds from the European Commission, based on the destination country.

For 2024/25 mobilities the amounts are allocated as follows:

  • €350.00 monthly (meaning 30 days) for: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, The Netherlands, Sweden, United Kingdom
  • €300.00 monthly (meaning 30 days) for: Bulgaria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, North Macedonia, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Hungary, Turkey
  • €700.00 monthly (meaning 30 days) for destinations beyond Europe

For 2025/26 mobilities, please refer to Erasmus+ grant amounts 2025/26 a.y.

  Additional Funding from MUR or other funds

The Additional Funding comes from either the University budget, MIUR or Veneto Region, on the basis of the ranking list, compiled by the Student Services Office for the Regional scholarship, and on the annual income (ISEE value). Payments are made according to annual availability of funds.

For information on how to apply for additional funding and deadlines, please refer to the Guide on how to apply for additional funding and deadlines 2025/26.

All amounts are established in the following tables, available for download. The limit of the ISEE/ISEU amount up to €50,000. For the calculation of merit, the list from the Student Service Office – Benefits Unit will be taken into consideration; it will be updated in February 2025 for mobilities in the a.y. 2024/25 anf in February 2026 for mobilities in the a.y 2025/26.

The down-payments will be calculated only on the basis of the ISEE statement while the balance will also take merit into consideration.

The total amount of the payments (by individual income and merit) will be calculated for a maximum period of 10 months.

Only students regularly enrolled not "beyond the normal duration of their course of study, increased by one year" are eligible for additional fundings. For the purposes of calculation, the first year of enrolment is taken into consideration, regardless of any changes in the “ordinamento” (year of degree course structure), changes in the degree course (without having withdrawn from studies) or other cases, and the years indicated on Uniweb as "ripetenti" (repeating years) are also counted. Please note that what is shown on the Uniweb is not relevant for the purposes of calculation.

In the event that the activities carried out abroad are not recognised and registered on Uniweb by:

  • 31st October 2025 for mobilities in 2024/25
  • 31st October 2026 for mobilities in 2025/26

Students will have to return the additional funding already issued and will not receive any balance.

  Travel expenses

For Erasmus+ for studies in Europe and beyond Europe, travel expenses are calculated on the basis of the distance between the University of Padova and the Receiving Institution. The amounts vary based on the following “kilometre bands” defined by the European Commission.

For the destinations of the Calls 2025/26 the following amounts and kilometre bands apply:

  • Between 10 and 99km: €28.00
  • Between 100 and 499km: €211.00
  • Between 500 and 1999km: €309.00
  • Between 2000 and 2999km: €395.00
  • Between 3000 and 3999km: €580.00
  • Between 4000 and 7999km: €1180.00
  • 8000km: €1,735.00

The European Commission has an official calculator for the distances between Institutions.

ATTENTION! Erasmus + beyond Europe students must save and send their boarding passes to attain this. The distance of a one-way travel must be used to calculate the amount of the EU grant that will support the round trip.

The payments for the mobility take place according to these timings:

  • Only after the students have uploaded the start of mobility documents in the Mobility Online platform (Attendance Certificate and Learning Agreement before the mobility) is it possible to receive any payments:
    - for departures in the first semester, down-payment equal to around 70% of the Erasmus Grant is paid between September and October and down-payment equal to 50% of any Additional Funding is paid after November;
    - for departures in the second semester, down-payment equal to around 70% of the Erasmus Grant and 50% of any Additional Funding are paid in March and April.
  • balance of the Erasmus Grant: between July and October (only after having sent the end of mobility documents and having completed the online EU survey)
  • balance of any Additional Funding: between April and December (only after the recognition on Uniweb of the activities carried out abroad)

  Arrangements for payment of the grant

The credit of the Erasmus Grant can only be issued to an Italian current account, of which the student must be the account holder or co-holder. To use a delegate’s (such as a parent) account is not valid.

Normal current accounts can be used, as well as a pre-paid card account, though it must have an IBAN code, which is necessary for the crediting to take place. This type of card is offered by various banks with very low maintenance costs or even free in some cases.

ATTENTION: before signing the Grant Agreement, you must provide the IBAN code of your current account on Uniweb in the section Didattica > Dati personali > Dati di Rimborso/Bonifico europeo. 

In the event that a new IBAN is used during or after the mobility, it is necessary to immediately update the bank details on Uniweb.

It is possible to use the multifunctional badge (University Flash Card); in this case, it is necessary to upgrade it to a card with financial purposes (Flash UP Studio Card).
