Erasmus+ Grant Support

After admission, the Rectorate’s Mobility Office issues an Erasmus+ Teaching Contract, through which the Erasmus+ grant will be awarded.

Note: If your application is approved, to carry out your mobility, it will be necessary to create an IST mission process. This mission cannot have any associated costs (transportation, per diem, accommodation or other expenses).

The reference grant amount is 1020,00 € (average 5 days funding). This amount includes support for travel costs, and subsistence. No other costs are refunded.

Erasmus grant is calculated based on a “per diem” individual support amount and a travel band amount. Those values are from the annually approved grant table (PDF, 203KB).

The table presented is valid for the current academic year 2024/2025

The concept of “Travel” include all necessary journeys between ULisboa and the host institution.

Under the Erasmus+ Program, travel cost support is based on the distance in kilometers between ULisboa and the host institution’s location.

For this purpose, the distance is calculated using the European Commission’s online tool:

• Distance Calculator

The distance in kilometers is then matched to the corresponding range on the Erasmus grant table to determine the applicable travel band amount.

Individual Support:

Individual support is based on a “per diem” value defined for country groups, considering the mobility duration.

The amounts may correspond to up to 100% of the grant for the first 14 days of mobility. From the 15th day onwards, grant amounts will be allocated at up to 70% of the table’s value.

When allocating individual support, it is possible to combine days with and without a grant.

Erasmus+ Grant support payment:

• The payment of the grants is after the signature of the Erasmus+ Staff Teaching Contract;
• Changes to the mobility period may imply adjustments in the grant amount and an addendum to the Erasmus+ Staff Teaching Contract;

Procedure post-mobility

• Declaration of Stay (PDF, 267KB) duly signed and stamped by the hosting institution at the last day of the mobility with first and final date. Document must be submitted no longer than 15 days after the return from the mobility;
• Travel evidence (boarding pass for departure and return);
• Submission of the Erasmus+ Participant Report. It will be sent to you via email.

The declaration of stay and traveling evidence documents should be submitted by filling out the following on-line form.
