Erasmus+ EM Action 2 (EMA2)

Other options for lecturers, staff or researchers to go abroad include EM Action 2 programmes which are incorporated in the Erasmus+.

The Erasmus+ EM Action 2 programme aims to promote research and other cooperation with non-EU universities by establishing consortia comprising a number of European and non-European universities. The European Commission makes mobility grants available to support these consortia and promote collaboration among universities. These grants can be used to pay for student (Bachelor’s, Master’s and PhD), staff and postdoc mobility. Only mobility from and to non-EU partner universities is allowed, not between participating EU universities.

A minimum of 1 month – and for some projects a maximum of 3 months – applies to staff mobility. Some specific projects allow this month to be divided into 2 two-week periods.

Mobility is financed via Erasmus+ EM Action 2. Travel costs are reimbursed and approximately EUR 2500 a month is available for accommodation costs.

Projects open for applications (incoming/outgoing mobility) are announced in this overview of EM Action 2 programmes. This overview provides additional information such as lists of participating universities, web addresses and call deadlines as well.
