Erasmus +

Funded by the European Union, the ERASMUS+ programme promotes the mobility abroad for:
- students during a period of mobility for studies and/or internship
- administrative staff and professors for a period of teaching or training

ERASMUS+ GOES GREEN
The environment and climate action are priorities for the EU, now and in the future. The Green Deal for Europe Communication is the new European growth strategy and recognises the key role of schools, training institutions and universities in engaging with pupils, parents and the wider community on the changes needed for a successful transition to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Under the Erasmus+ 2022-2027 programme, if a participant uses an green mode of transport, such as rail, he will be eligible for additional funding. Do not hesitate to ask your Erasmus+ coordinator.

Erasmus+ programme and mobility for people with disabilities
The Erasmus+ programme provides a particular attention to the welcome, orientation, technical and educational support, and especially to extra-costs related to mobility for people with disabilities. It is about doing what is necessary so that the person fully enjoys the European mobility experience.
Each higher education institution, by signing the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), commits to ensure equality of access and opportunities of mobility to all participants. Therefore, individuals with disabilities can benefit from support services that the hosting institution provides to its students and staff members.
Additional grant
To meet the specific needs of an individual with a disability during the mobility, an additional funding will facilitate his/her participation.
What are your additional needs?
The eligible costs for additional fundings can be various : specific accommodation, carer during the mobility, medical follow-up or home assistance.
Expenses for specific needs will only be covered on the basis of the actual costs estimated by the sending institution and clearly expressed by the participant.
The National Agency will only take into account additional costs which cannot be covered by other sources of funding. Each cost stated must be duly justified or it will be rejected.
How to apply?
Please contact the International Relations Office of your institution to help you fill in the application form for specific needs.
Do not hesitate to visit the website InclusiveMobility.eu, an online mapping tool to know more about accessibility of higher education institutions provided by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).

Erasmus+ inclusion diversity policy
By signing the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, each higher education institution commits to ensuring equal access and opportunities for all participants, regardless of their background.
The Erasmus+ programme aims to promote equal opportunities and equal access, inclusion, diversity and equity throughout its actions. To implement these principles, an inclusion and diversity strategy covering all areas of the programme has been developed to support access to funding to reach more participants with fewer opportunities. Beyond Disability (see dedicated section), the following barriers to mobility have been identified and defined by the European Commission as follows:
- Health problems
- Cultural differences
- Social barriers
- Economic barriers
- Barriers linked to discrimination
- Geographical barriers
Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis between training managers, Hand’IGS advisors, and the Erasmus+ Coordinator.
For more information, please contact erasmusplus@groupe-igs.fr.
A person with fewer opportunities is a potential participant whose personal, physical, mental, or health-related circumstances are such that their participation in the project or mobility initiative would not be possible without additional support (financial or otherwise). The criteria are as follows:
- Resident of a municipality classified as a ZRR (rural revitalization zone)
- Resident of an address classified as a QPV (priority neighborhoods)
- Higher education scholarship recipient based on social criteria at levels 6 and 7
- Belonging to a household with a CAF family quotient of less than or equal to €566
- With a disability or long-term illness
For people with fewer opportunities, and in particular those with physical, mental, or health-related problems, the grant amount may therefore be higher than the maximum individual grant amounts indicated above.
Participants in long-term mobility with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of € 250 per month. The applicable criteria are established at national level by the national agencies in agreement with the national authorities.
Participants in short-term mobility who have fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of € 100 for a physical mobility activity lasting 5 to 14 days and € 150 for an activity lasting 15 to 30 days.
