The International Relations Office (IRO) at UPJŠ has prepared for you an overview of upcoming Erasmus+ calls for applications in 2024/2025 (1.8.2024 – 31.7.2025). This article will be updated continuously.
Short-Term Blended Student Mobilities, First and Second Study Cycles
Mobility implementation period: 31.7.2025 at the latest
| Proposed deadline for the submission of applications at the individual faculties/departments/institutes*: | Earliest possible starting date: | |
| 1st phase | 10.06.2024 | 01.08.2024 |
| 2nd phase | 07.10.2024 | 21.10.2024 |
| 3rd phase | 10.02.2025 | 24.02.2025 |
| 4th phase | 05.05.2025 | 19.05.2025 |
- The rules of the call are governed by the rules of Directive no. 1/2020, which establishes the procedure for the administration of the Erasmus+ program at Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice and its components.
- Processing of applications, checking of documents and the entered information and the evaluation within the faculties is the responsibility of the faculties.
- Short-term blended student mobilities are intended for doctoral (MUDr.), bachelor’s and master’s degree students.
- Short-term blended mobilities of students consists of a short-term physical mobility (study or traineeship) of students abroad (in a program country) with minimal duration of 5 days and of a mandatory virtual element, while the volume, method and time of the virtual part are freely adjustable.
- The implementation of the virtual part is to be ensured by the sending faculty/department/institute in cooperation with the receiving institution. The sending faculty/department/institute is responsible for and confirms the quality of the implemented virtual activity.
- This opportunity should be taken up in particular by those students who cannot go on a long-term physical mobility, for example, due to their study field or because they have fewer opportunities for participation.
- It is up to the faculties and university workplaces to assess the appropriateness of student mobility choices and to ensure that long-term physical mobilities remain the norm.
- The physical mobility of any short-term blended student mobility must meet the criterion of minimal duration: from 5 to 30 days (excluding travel time) and must be combined with an obligatory virtual element.
- At least three credits of the ECTS system must be awarded for a blended student mobility.
- The university will provide the participant of a short-term blended mobility with a grant up to the amount covering 5 days of physical mobility abroad.
- Participants of a short-term blended mobility have the opportunity to implement mobilities that are longer than 5 days with a so-called combined grant, i.e. with financial support from Erasmus+ resources combined with a period with zero grant, or full mobilities with zero grant.
- One travel day before the first day of activity abroad and/or one travel day following the last day of activity abroad is added to the mobility period. These days are included in the calculation of individual support according to the scheme of 5 days of activity + 2 days of travel.
- Short-term blended mobilities are not available for recent graduates.

Faculty (departmental, institutional) Erasmus coordinators as well as the employees of the International Relations Office of the UPJŠ Rectorate will provide you with more detailed information about inter-institutional agreements for the individual study fields.
In case of student mobility for traineeships the receiving organisation can be:
- any Programme Country public or private organisation active in the labour market or in the fields of education, training, youth, research and innovation. For example, such organisation can be:
- a public or private, a small, medium or large enterprise (including social enterprises);

Participants of short-term mobilities (5-30 days) are entitled to individual support for physical mobilities, including travel days, regardless of the target country: 79 EUR per day.
Mobility participants with fewer opportunities are entitled to a top-up amount of € 100 above the basic rate for a physical mobility lasting 5-14 days and of € 150 for a physical mobility lasting 15-30 days.
Support for travel costs is granted to participants with fewer opportunities. The travel grant is covered by a special range of fixed amounts according to the distance bands valid for the whole program:
| Distance band | Standard travel | Green travel |
| From 10 to 99 km: | 23 EUR/participant | |
