- disbursement of funds (advances, meal allowances and billing) is carried out by the economic department
- academic staff receive funds for the days when the teaching activity takes place
- a grant can be allocated for up to 2 days per travel (1 day there and 1 day back) – the day of the travel must precede the first day of teaching and follow the last day of teaching
- the amount of grant per day depends on the country of stay
- employees with special needs can apply for a special grant. The application is submitted before the summer and winter semesters (for more details contact DIRI).
- mobilities planned in December must be consulted in advance with the DIRI Coordinator due to the financial deadline at the end of the calendar year
- stay costs include the costs of accommodation, meals, local transport, travel insurance and any cancellation fees
- financial support is intended to cover part of the accommodation costs related to a teaching stay at a partner institution abroad
- financial support is provided exclusively for days when the academic is teaching
- the specific number of teaching days must be agreed upon in advance by the foreign party in the Mobility Agreement – Staff Mobility for Teaching. Based on this number, DIRI calculates the amount of the grant.
- the amount confirmed by DIRI represents the maximum possible grant amount intended for stay costs, which will be paid from the Erasmus+ program

- travel expenses are paid separately and in full, and the participant chooses an economical mode of transport
- travel by car – paid according to the price of public transport
- cancellation of the ticket
- it is always necessary to keep all boarding passes, tickets, invoices, accommodation bills, etc. and attach them to the business trip invoice
