Real cost ap­plic­a­tions

University staff with disabilities or chronic illnesses as well as university staff who take their child(ren) abroad with them can submit a real cost application for the actual costs incurred.

Pos­sible real cost ap­plic­a­tions

Employees at universities with a disability (from GdB 20) or a chronic illness who are sponsored for a stay abroad via Erasmus+ can - upon submission of a corresponding application (real cost application) - apply for support for real additional costs incurred (up to 15,000 euros) via their home university. An individual assessment is made of the expected additional costs that are likely to be incurred during the Erasmus+ mobility and are not covered by other funding bodies. For example, additional costs for barrier-free accommodation, travel assistance, medical care abroad, adaptation of learning materials or an accompanying person are taken into account.

Information on additional funding for participants with disabilities/chronic illnesses and on accessibility abroad can be found on the DAAD website.

Please note that this application must be submitted at least 2 months before the start of your stay. Therefore, please contact us as early as possible.
