Duration and rates

Alle participants in the Erasmus+ Global mobility receive financial support for traveling. The travel support is calulated in the distance calculator and is based on the distance between the Norwegian institution and the receiving institution in the Erasmus+ partner country.

  • Long term mobility: 2-12 months. Norwegian students going on long term mobility to third countries receive €700 per month. Students who come on long term mobility from third countries to Norway receive €900 per month.
  • Short term mobility (Ph.D. candidates and mixed mobility): 5-30 days. Students going on short term mobility receive €70 per day from fra day 1 to day 14, and €50 per day from day 15 to 30. A traveling day before, and after, the activity may also be covered.

Budget

The call for global mobility is divided into various regions with their own budgets. Some regions have higher priority, and thus larger budgets, and others, meaning there are more funds available for mobility to and from these regions. It is recommended to view of the number of mobilities listed in the budget with moderation: remember that the number of available mobilities are to be divided between all Norwegian institutions that are awarded funds. A link to the budget for the application call, as well as more information about Erasmus+ Global Mobility, can be found on THIS page.

Criteria

In cases where one cannot refer to earlier cooperation, application are prioritized that show concrete potential for a further cooperation within the Erasmus+ programme or other education and research programmes (e.g. Erasmus, Horizon Europe, NORHED) in the wake of funding for global mobility.
  • Lacking applications will not be followed up. The same applies to application that cannot document support from department management.

Division of responsibility/procedure internally at NTNU if funds are awarded

Contract and reporting
In the event of awared funds to global mobility, an overarching contract between NTNU's central administration (represented by the Unit for International Relations) and HK-dir is signed. The contract applies to global mobility in its entirety and the Unit for International Relations is thus responsible for entering the contract and reporting to HK-dir. The involved academic groups will report to the Unit for International Relations. Reporting is done at the start of the project, interim reporting and before the end of the project.

Student mobility
The Unit for International Relations will handle applications for student mobility. Students who are travel to/from NTNU within the project must apply to NTNU for exchange within normal procedures. The Unit for International Relations allocates housing from Sit to inbound students at Bachelor's and Master's level. The Office is responsible for payment of Erasmus scholarships to students.

Employee mobility and Ph.D. mobility
The academic groups (at department or faculty) are responsible for all follow-up of academic employees and Ph.D. students who parttake in global mobility. This also entails responsibility for allocation of housing and payment of stipends/scholarships. The Unit for International Relations will give the department/faculty an introduction to the applicable procedures for stipend payments to employees and Ph.D. students.
