Partner countries

In addition to mobilities with Erasmus+ programme countries, there is also the possibility of exchanges with selected partner countries, some of which are outside Europe. Individual information on this can be obtained from the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator at TU Braunschweig.

Daily rates

The financial support is calculated according to the different costs of living in the destination countries. Uniform daily rates up to the 14th day of the stay are calculated as a lump sum for 3 groups of countries.

Travel allowances

In addition to living costs, participants are supported with flat-rate travel costs. These travel costs are calculated according to the real distance between the origin and destination of the mobility and can be determined through the EU distance calculator. The travel costs are calculated according to the distance.
