1. Which Countries are included in Erasmus+ Worldwide?
Erasmus+ distinguishes between:
- Programme Countries and
- Partner Countries.
In the context of this funding scheme, Erasmus+ Worldwide refers to the Erasmus+ Partner Countries that are not part of the Erasmus+ Programme Countries.
2. Application process and Allocation of funding
KOOR – Erasmus Services BW has a limited funding budget for Erasmus+ stays in Partner Countries. Therefore, not all traineeships and study stays aborad can be funded.
Funding is allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The date on which the complete application documents are received determines priority. Registration alone does not guarantee funding.
3. What are the Funding requirements?
In general, Erasmus+ stays in Partner Countries are subject to similar funding requirements as stays in Programme Countries. However, specific rules may apply depending on the type of mobility (internship or study period).
Important for internships abroad: Only one internship in an Erasmus+ Partner Country can be funded per student and per project year.
4. What Funding benefits are available?
The funding rates for Erasmus+ traineeships worldwide in partner countries are as follows:
| Daily rate/monthly rate in EUR | |
| Erasmus+ partner countries (except countries of region 13 and 14) | 23,33 / 700,00 |
| Countries of region 13 (Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican State) | 25,00 / 750,00 |
| Countries of region 14 (Faroe-Islands, Switzerland, UK*) | 25,00 / 750,00 |
- The funding amount is the same for undergraduate and graduate students.
- Only physical time spent on-site in the host country is financially supported.
Maximum funding period:
- If your internship worldwide starts before September 1, 2026, it will be funded for a maximum of 4.5 months (135 days).
- If your internship worldwide starts on or after September 1, 2026, it will be funded for a maximum of 3.5 months (105 days).
Any time exceeding this is considered a Zero Grant. Zero Grant days are also deducted from the funding allowance. These are Erasmus+ days without financial support. Additional top-ups are also paid for a maximum of 3.5 months or 4.5 months plus a maximum of 6 travel days. Virtual time spent working from home is not eligible for funding.
