Travel support for all Erasmus+ participants in project 2025
Starting from the project year 2025, all Erasmus+ participants are entitled to a travel allowance (travel support), regardless of the duration of their stay. The amount of this allowance depends on the type of transport used for the journey.
Standard Travel vs. Green Mobility Travel
Erasmus+ promotes sustainable travel by offering extra financial support for participants who choose environmentally friendly means of transport. To qualify for green mobility funding, you must complete at least 50% of your travel distance to and from the partner university or internship location using low-emission transportation modes, such as train, bus, ride-sharing, or bicycle.

Additional Support for Sustainable Travel (Green Mobility)
Erasmus+ provides further incentives to support sustainable travel:
- 2024 Project: Up to six additional funded travel days to accommodate the longer travel times associated with green travel methods.
- 2025 Project: Up to six additional funded travel days (plus higher travel allowance rate).
Definition and Calculation of Travel Days
Eligible travel days for sustainable travel are granted as follows: 1 day for travel time over 8 hours (one-way), 2 days for travel time over 16 hours (one-way), 3 days for travel time over 32 hours (one-way).
Travel time is calculated door-to-door, i.e. the time from your departure point (e.g., home) to your final destination (e.g., university or internship location).
These measures ensure that choosing sustainable transport remains both feasible and financially supported.
