Erasmus+ mobility for people with disabilities
The Erasmus+ programme pays particular attention to welcoming people with disabilities and offering guidance and support in all teaching and technological aspects, as well as for additional costs pertaining to their mobility period. The aim is to ensure that everyone benefits fully from their European mobility experience.
By signing the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), each higher education institution undertakes to ensure equality and equal access to and opportunities for mobility for participants from all backgrounds. People with disabilities can therefore benefit from the support services that their host institution offers its students and staff.
To meet the specific needs of disabled people during their mobility period and facilitate their participation, supplementary funding can be granted in addition to the Erasmus+ mobility grant.
To best prepare your Erasmus+ mobility period, you must complete the application form for additional funding, indicating the additional costs linked to your disability, and send it to the International Relations Department of your home university.
What are your additional needs ?
Supplementary funding is available for a range of additional needs, such as adapted accommodation, assistance from an accompanying person during travel, medical support, material support, home help and special-needs care.
You must contact the International Relations Department of your home university, which will provide you with the application form for additional funding and help you complete it.
Important: It is very important to inform the International Relations Department (SRI) at Université Gustave Eiffel of your mobility project as early as possible so that we can ensure that we offer you a welcome tailored to your needs.
Do not hesitate to consult the Inclusive Mobility website, an online tool that indexes the level of accessibility of higher education institutions.
