Erasmus+ programme and mobility for people with disabilities

The Erasmus+ programme provides a particular attention to the welcome, orientation, technical and educational support, and especially to extra-costs related to mobility for people with disabilities. It is about doing what is necessary so that the person fully enjoys the European mobility experience.

Each higher education institution, by signing the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), commits to ensure equality of access and opportunities of mobility to all participants. Therefore, individuals with disabilities can benefit from support services that the hosting institution provides to its students and staff members.

Additional grant

To meet the specific needs of an individual with a disability during the mobility, an additional funding will facilitate his/her participation.

What are your additional needs?
The eligible costs for additional fundings can be various : specific accommodation, carer during the mobility, medical follow-up or home assistance.

How to apply?

Please contact the International Relations Office of your institution to help you fill in the application form for specific needs.

Do not hesitate to visit the website InclusiveMobility.eu, an online mapping tool to know more about accessibility of higher education institutions provided by the Erasmus Student Network (ESN).

Erasmus+ inclusion diversity policy

By signing the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, each higher education institution commits to ensuring equal access and opportunities for all participants, regardless of their background.

The Erasmus+ programme aims to promote equal opportunities and equal access, inclusion, diversity and equity throughout its actions. To implement these principles, an inclusion and diversity strategy covering all areas of the programme has been developed to support access to funding to reach more participants with fewer opportunities. Beyond Disability (see dedicated section), the following barriers to mobility have been identified and defined by the European Commission as follows:

  • Health problems
  • Cultural differences
  • Social barriers
  • Economic barriers
  • Barriers linked to discrimination
  • Geographical barriers

A person with fewer opportunities is a potential participant whose personal, physical, mental or health-related conditions are such that participation in the mobility project or action would not be possible without additional support (financial or otherwise).
For people with fewer opportunities, and in particular people with physical, mental or health-related problems, the grant amount may therefore be higher than the maximum amounts for individual grants indicated above.
Long-term mobility participants with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of EUR 250 per month The applicable criteria are established at national level by the National Agencies in agreement with the national authorities.
Short-term mobility participants with fewer opportunities may receive, in addition to the Erasmus+ grant, a financial supplement of EUR 100 for a physical mobility activity lasting between 5 and 14 days and EUR 150 for an activity lasting between 15 and 30 days.
Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the course directors, the Hand’IGS referents and the Erasmus+ Coordinator.
For more information, please contact: erasmusplus@groupe-igs.fr.
