The internship/placement must last a minimum of two months and take place in an eligible Erasmus+ Programme Country at a public or private organization engaged in economic activity, such as companies, training centres, research institutions, foundations, art centres and other eligible organizations.

To apply, students must submit the documentation required by the Call for Applications, including an acceptance letter from the host organization specifying the internship period and the activities to be undertaken. The Erasmus Office will support students throughout the application and mobility process.

The Erasmus+ programme provides financial support to contribute to the costs of the mobility period abroad. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis, subject to the availability of Erasmus+ funding. The mobility period must be completed within the timeframe specified in the Call for Applications.

Applications are assessed by a dedicated Selection Committee, which evaluates the candidates according to the criteria established in the Call, including the quality and feasibility of the proposed project and the candidate’s academic, artistic and linguistic profile.
