Before mobility & grant amounts
AFTER ACCEPTANCE BY THE FOREIGN ORGANISATION
Acceptance by the foreign organisation means obtaining a signed and approved Learning Agreement for a Traineeship.
The student further arranges his/her stay in terms of organisation (accommodation, visa – information: SAAIC, MFA SR, as visa-free travel is in principle only up to 90 days).
At least 6 weeks before departure, the student will upload the following documents into Mobility Online:
- Learning agreement for traineeship (the document is downloadable in Mobility Online) – once downloaded, the document will be checked, filled in and then signed by all parties and uploaded into the system (we also accept electronic signatures).
- Copy of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) valid during the mobility
- A copy of commercial insurance (for example Erapo insurance for Erasmus+ students) (must include all necessary insurances for the whole mobility period), in case of extension of the traineeship it is necessary to extend the commercial insurance for the new mobility period:
- Medical expenses insurance
- Liability insurance (covers damage caused by participants)
- Accident, death and disability insurance
- Legal expenses insurance
Note for students in their final year of study who do not continue their studies and go on mobility in the summer semester: by passing the state final exam, you cease to be a student and therefore cannot be on mobility after the date of the final exam. Therefore, set your mobility dates so that the mobility does not exceed the date of the final exam.
Once all documents have been uploaded and you have filled in your personal and other details in Mobility Online, you will receive a Grant Agreement to the university email. The student is obliged to read the agreement, print it twice and send both copies to the rectorate Erasmus Office (OPE), to Ms Tamara Žiak. Signed agreement can be delivered to OPE by post (Oddelenie programu Erasmus+, Univerzita Komenského, Šafárikovo námestie 6, P.O.BOX 440, 814 99 Bratislava 1), or through the registry office of the faculty where you are studying, or through university registry office at Šafárikovo námestie 6.
If the student needs an Erasmus student status confirmation from abroad, he/she downloads the form “Erasmus student status confirmation” – the document can be downloaded in the Mobility online system.
Once the agreement has been signed by the Erasmus+ Institutional Coordinator, we will send you one copy to the address you provided in your mobility application form.
WARNING: If a student travels without a properly concluded agreement (signed by the Institutional Coordinator), he/she cannot claim the grant.
Before your stay, you can improve your language skills with a free online course on eu.academy.
Based on the recommendation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic, students are advised to register on the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic before travelling on mobility for assistance in case of emergency situations. REGISTER HERE
GRANT AMOUNTS
The allocated grant represents net income for the student and is not subject to taxation. It is only a support grant, so it cannot be expected to cover all the costs associated with a student's stay abroad. Therefore, it is necessary for the student to count on his financial participation. It is recommended that the student, when negotiating the terms of the internship, insist on a financial reward/bonus from the receiving institution (accommodation, food, ...).
The calculation of the grant for the mobility period is determined by multiplying the number of days and 1/30 of the monthly grant intended for the respective receiving country. Conditions of the grant are specified in the Grant agreement signed between the Comenius University (represented by the Institutional Coordinator) and the student.

Example: A student travels for an internship to Poland (Krakow) for the period from 01.10.2024 - 30.11.2024 (2 months/60 days*).
The grant is calculated as follows, other than green travel: Poland belongs to 3 groups, the monthly grant is €700, €700/30 days * 60 days = €1,400 + distance 295.73km (distance up to 499km ) = €1,400 + €211=€1,611
The grant is calculated as follows, green travel: Poland belongs to 3 groups, the monthly grant is €700, €700/30 days * 60 days = €1,400 + distance 295.73km (distance up to 499km) = €1,400 + €285 = €1,685
Green travel is defined as travel that uses low-emission means of transport, such as buses or trains, or an environmentally friendly mode of transport, such as car-pooling, for the main part of the outbound or return journey.
Partner countries in regions 1 - 12: 700 €/month, partner countries in regions 13 and 14: 824 €/month.
