Students can apply for an Erasmus+ grant for studies

Students can apply for an Erasmus+ grant for studies at a host university in the second semester of 2020/21 provided the mobility is carried out abroad (in the country of the host institution) in form of face-to-face (on-site), virtual (on-line) or blended (hybrid) learning.
