ERASMUS+ TRAINEESHIP

The Erasmus+ for Traineeship Programme aims to enable students to acquire university credits (CFU) for their study plan at laboratories or research centres of Universities holding an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, or at public or private organisations active in the labour market or in fields such as education, training, and youth.

You can spend a total of 12 months on mobility for each study cycle (24 months for single-cycle degree programmes).

You can use the mobility months available to you across different years (for example, you can undertake a 6-month mobility in one academic year and another 6 months in the following academic year).

Both the Erasmus+ for Study and the Erasmus+ for Traineeship programmes count towards the calculation of the total months (for example, you can carry out an Erasmus Study mobility in one academic year and an Erasmus Traineeship in the following academic year).

 

  • Who can participate: Students enrolled within the standard duration of their course (in corso).
  • What you can do:

    • Internships at both private and public European companies;

    • Hospital traineeships;

    • Traineeships at schools of all levels;

    • Training and internships in university and non-university laboratories.

    • NOTE: Research activities are allowed ONLY if they represent practical-work activities.

  • Destination Countries: EU countries or countries participating in the Programme: (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey).

  • Duration of the Mobility: From a minimum of 2 months to a maximum of 12 months (in compliance with the call deadlines).

  • Publication of the Selection Call: Two rounds per academic year:

    • 1st round: June of each year

    • 2nd round: December of each year

  • Mobility Period:

    • 1st round: Mobilities between 1 September and 30 September of the following year (1st semester or full academic year).

    • 2nd round: Mobilities between March and 30 September of each year (2nd semester).

  • Mobility Recognition: Educational activities successfully completed during the mobility must be fully recognized as part of the student's study plan and not as extra-curricular (soprannumero) credits.
