This new Erasmus+ funding programme enables doctoral students at the University of Graz to undertake a physical mobility of 5-30 days. The mobility may be a study visit or an internship. The focus of this type of mobility is on education and training, not on research and innovation. A stay for research purposes and cooperation is possible (confirmed by the host university), conference participation is not eligible for funding.
This mobility can also be combined with a virtual component, similar to Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programmes.
Applications for available places can be submitted on an ongoing basis, with a deadline of 2 months at the latest.

Participants are entitled to additional individual support for “green travel” of up to six days for the outward and return journey (if necessary). This only applies if more than half of the outward and return journey is completed environmentally friendly (e.g., train, bus, carpooling, bicycle) and if these days are only used for travelling and no further/other BIP activities are undertaken on these days.
The grant is paid in two instalments: 75 % before the mobility and 25 % after the end of the BIP, when all documents have been handed in.
