4. GRANT SUPPORT

800 Euro x Per month + Travel support ( 820 Euro)

The travel expenses to be paid to the student benefiting from the mobility activity should be calculated using the "Distance Calculator.” The distance calculator can be accessed from the link below:

http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm

A distance calculator should be used to calculate the distance between the two points from the place of residence of the student to the place of activity. The travel grant should be calculated using the table below. The grant equivalent of the mileage calculated in the distance calculator in the table below is the round-trip figure, and this amount is not multiplied by two. If the staff member travels with a stopover, it does not affect the distance reached by the above-mentioned distance calculation.
