►Grant Details for Staff

140 Euro’s per day + travel grant

The amount of travel grant must be calculated using the "Distance Calculator". The distance calculator is accessible from the following link: https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/resources-and-tools/distance-calculator The distance of a one-way travel must be used to calculate the amount of the EU grant that will support the round trip.

Travel Grant

In addition to the daily grants, the travel grant is calculated by using the “Distance Calculator” below:

https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/resources-and-tools/distance-calculator

The distance calculator is used to determine the distance between the location where the staff is residing and the place of activity. The kilometres in distance calculated by the distance calculator corresponds to the round-trip and the amount does not get multiplied by two.

►A Sample of Grant Calculation

For a visit from Russia for 5 working days, the total grant is calculated as follows:

Daily Grant: 140*5 (days) + 140*2 (travel days) = 980 €

Travel Grant: 530 €

Total Grant: 1510 €
