MOBILITIES FOR STUDIES
General Information
The EEA Grants Programme offers support to students from WUT’s partner universities in Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein to pursue a study mobility in Timisoara. This is possible through mobility projects implemented between any higher education institutions in the European Economic Area (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, namely Donor Countries) and their partners in Beneficiary Countries (Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia).
The International Office at your home university has all the information you need regarding: available opportunities/subject areas for mobilities, selection process and grant value.
Your grant will consist of: subsistence component + travel component
| Subsistence (for students) for mobilities from Donor States to RO | 1000 EUR/month (for incomplete months the grant will be calculated by multiplying the number of days from that specific month with 1/30 of the monthly grant- 33 EUR/day) |
| Travel distance (from home university to host university and return, fixed amount, calculated as a straight line according to https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en) | Amount |
| 10 to 99 km | 20 EUR per participant |
| 100 to 499 km | 180 EUR per participant |
| 500 to 1999 km | 275 EUR per participant |
| 2000 to 2999 km | 360 EUR per participant |
| 3000 to 3999 km | 530 EUR per participant |
| 4000 to 7999 km | 820 EUR per participant |
The study mobility can vary from 3 to 12 months/cycle of study, but we reccommend you pursue a mobility of one semester or one academic year.
Courses succesfully followed at WUT will be recognized by your university based on the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
