Erasmus+ at FVO
Types of mobility
Each type of mobility has its own conditions, procedure and grant. See the individual pages for details. You have a total of 12 months of mobility available in each study cycle.
For first- and second-cycle students: two to twelve months at a partner university, with recognised study credits and a monthly grant.
For students and graduates up to 12 months after graduation: at least two months of work in a company or organisation abroad, with a top-up of EUR 150 per month.
For FVO teaching and professional staff: teaching or training at an institution abroad, lasting from two days to two months.
For students from partner institutions who would like to complete a semester or traineeship at FVO in Velenje.
The Erasmus+ 2026 call for study and traineeship mobility covers periods from 1 June 2026 to 30 September 2027. The regular deadline was 30 April 2026; later applications are also accepted while funding remains available.
For students
Top-ups to the Erasmus+ grant
The monthly grant contributes towards living expenses abroad. Additional top-ups may be available for study and traineeship mobility. The amounts shown are indicative, based on the 2026 call; the grant agreement specifies the exact amount. You can retain your state, Zois or employer-funded scholarship alongside the Erasmus+ grant.
Fewer opportunities: EUR 250 per month
Eligible groups are listed below. Submit an official decision or another supporting document with your grant application.
Traineeships: EUR 150 per month
Available to all Erasmus+ traineeship participants and can be combined with other top-ups.
Special needs: actual costs
If the fewer-opportunities top-up is insufficient, you can claim actual additional costs supported by receipts. Submit your application at least 45 days before the mobility begins.
Travel and green travel
The travel grant depends on the distance between Velenje and the host location. Higher support is available for travel by train, bus or bicycle, and up to six funded travel days may also be eligible.
Travel grant
| One-way distance | Standard travel | Green travel |
|---|---|---|
| 10β99 km | 28 EUR | 56 EUR |
| 100β499 km | 211 EUR | 285 EUR |
| 500β1999 km | 309 EUR | 417 EUR |
| 2000β2999 km | 395 EUR | 535 EUR |
| 3000β3999 km | 580 EUR | 785 EUR |
| 4000β7999 km | 1188 EUR | 1188 EUR |
| 8000 km or more | 1735 EUR | 1735 EUR |
Calculate the distance using the EU distance calculator. Green travel includes trains, buses, other shared transport or bicycles, excluding cars, aircraft and boats. FVO pays the difference after your return, once you submit transport evidence and a declaration on honour. Erasmus+ students can buy an Interrail pass through a special offer.
Who receives the fewer-opportunities top-up?
- students with special needs or a special status (athlete, artist, parent, etc.),
- students with an official decision from CSD, ZZZS, ZRSΕ or ZPIZ (including a decision held by a household member),
- students from single-parent or foster families,
- parents of children under 26,
- people with international protection,
- members of the Roma community.
Students with fewer opportunities receive priority in selection. Support before, during and after mobility is described in the Guidelines for the Inclusion of Students with Fewer Opportunities.
