E+ International credit mobility supports exchanges of students and employees of universities with non -European, so-called partner countries. Mobility is realized on the basis of successfully approved mobility projects with selected universities. The specific offer of universities may change every year depending on the evaluation of the submitted projects and their duration.

Conditions

  • The student must be enrolled in an accredited study program at MENDELU (bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral study program).
  • The student has properly completed at least the first year of study at the university (full-time, combined and distance learning).
  • The duration of the study stay is a minimum of 3 months/a maximum of 12 months.
  • The sum of all Erasmus+ study stays and Erasmus+ practical internships in a given level of study must not exceed 12 months (stays completed during LLP Erasmus are also included).
  • Before going abroad or during the study stay, the student may not terminate or interrupt his/her studies at MENDELU.
  • Selection criteria – study results, language test, motivation letter, coordinator’s approval.
  • Obtaining at least 18 ECTS credits for each semester of study is necessary. This condition applies to bachelor’s and master’s degrees.
  • If a student does not meet the condition of completing 18 ECTS, he/she will be asked to return part of the allocated financial contribution in the amount of 1/30 of the stay costs for each outstanding credit. This does not apply if an unforeseen situation or event prevented the student from meeting the minimum requirements and which the student was unable to influence, and which he/she immediately informed the program coordinator at MENDELU.
  • In the case of a doctoral student, the study stay/traineeship must be approved by the student´s dissertation thesis supervisor.
  • The recommended number of credits for doctoral studies is not specified.
  • The scholarship of the Erasmus+ program is intended to cover part of the costs related to the study stay. It represents a contribution to the increased costs associated with the stay abroad.
  • The scholarship is paid by bank transfer to a euro bank account and consists of 2 components – accommodation costs and travel costs.
  • The amount of the scholarship for outgoing students is EUR 700/month.
  • For the purposes of calculating the scholarship, one month is considered to be 30 days – if the duration of the study stay is not observed in the length of whole months, the scholarship for the last month is calculated according to the number of days, where one day = 1/30 of the monthly rate.
  • Travel distance means the distance between the starting point and the place of the activity, the rate is the contribution to the trip to the site of the activity and back.  
  • Travel costs depend on the distance to the destination: 
DISTANCE BAND AMOUNT
100 – 499 Km180 EUR 
500 – 1999 Km275 EUR 
 2000 – 2999 Km360 EUR 
 3000 – 3999 Km530 EUR 
 4000 – 7999 Km820 EUR 
 8000 Km and more1500 EUR
  • The scholarship is paid based on the signing of the Grant Agreement (GA)
    • before departure 100% of travel and 70% of accommodation costs
    • payment takes place within 10 working days after signing GA, no later than the start of the mobility, usually, but no earlier than 10 working days before the start mobility
  • The remaining 30% of the accommodation costs is paid after the delivery of all necessary documents after the end of the mobility (especially Confirmation of study period and Transcript of Records).
  • In case of shortening the stay, the scholarship is reduced by 1/30 of the monthly rate for each day the mobility was shortened.
  • Financial support cannot be used to cover costs already covered by other EU actions/programmes – the student cannot receive an Erasmus Mundus (Joint Master Degree) and Erasmus+ scholarship at the same time.

Administration of the mobility

  • The student must pass a proper selection process.
  • Learning Agreement (LA) at least 6 weeks before the start of the mobility. LA must be in accordance with the student´s study plan.
  • At the international office of the faculty, the student will present a Letter of Acceptance from the receiving institution, according to these data, the faculty coordinator will introduce the student´s mobility to UIS. Suppose the recipient university does not issue its own Letter of Acceptance, the student may use the MENDELU form (the student shall send it to the receiving university coordinator for confirmation).
  • The student will arrange a euro account for sending the scholarship.
  • Create a Travel proposal and pay for the insurance, there is an option to pay for the insurance online.

  • The Erasmus+ Student Charter and General Terms are part of the Grant Agreement.
  • There is visa information at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic
  • If there are any changes in the study contract during the SMS stay, the student must complete the LA part of the During the Mobility form, have it confirmed by the host institution, the coordinator from the home faculty and ensure that a copy reaches at OMVI – changes must be approved within 30 days from the start of the study stay.
  • Immediately inform MENDELU about any changes (shortening or extension of your stay) and any problems with the fulfilment of the LA.

Usually, the extension of stay for credit mobility is not possible. If this possibility occurs, we will inform you about it. In this case, it is necessary to keep the following steps:

  • to obtain written consent from the receiving and sending institution to extend the study stay,
  • submit an Application for an Extension of the LA,
  • sign an addendum to the Grant Agreement concluded between the student and the sending institution before the end of the original study stay,
  • ensure that the extension period follows on from the original study stay,
  • ensure that the maximum duration of the study stay, i.e. 12 months in one study cycle, is not exceeded.
  • The student fills in the EU Survey Final Report in the European Mobility Tool+ database. After the end of the stay, he/she will receive an e-mail with a request to fill in the report. Submission of the final report is a condition for drawing the Erasmus+ financial contribution.
  • The student delivers the Confirmation of study period and Transcript of Records to IRO, which will be issued and confirmed by the receiving organization before departure. 
  • Confirmation of study period must contain the name of the participant and the start and end date of the study and must be submitted to IRO within 15 days of the end of the study stay. The confirmation must not be older than 5 days before the end of the stay!
  • A student of a doctoral study program shall submit a supervisor’s confirmation describing the course content during the study stay. This confirmation will be delivered to OMVI within 1 month from the end of the study stay.
  • The student will ensure the recognition of completed courses at the faculty.
  • Remember that recognising a pre-approved study plan is a condition of the Erasmus+ program.
  • The student applies for recognition even if he/she does not lack credits for graduating from MENDELU.
