Projects 2022 - until 31st July 2025

(1st possible mobility in summer term 2023/2024 - last possible mobility in summer term 2024/2025)

The call for the winter semester 2024/2025 at the Institute of International Studies has been terminated in April 2024. 

• The Faculty of Social Sciences receives funding for students' scholarships in accordance with budgets of the Czech Ministry of Education and EU, with their level being set by the Erasmus+ ICM program.
• All regular Charles University students, regardless of their nationality and form of study (part-time and regular) are eligible for an Erasmus+ exchange.
• In general, students may take part in exchanges abroad within both the Erasmus+ and Erasmus+ ICM programs in each study cycle (i.e. at Bachelor and Master levels and Doctoral candidates). The usual duration is one semester, in individual cases may last two. However, total time abroad (both study abroad and traineeships included) may not exceed 12 months within one cycle of study (Thus, if being previously on Erasmus+ study stay/placement, the number of months must be counted together, the E+ and the E+ICM to not exceed the 12 months for one study cycle).
• Since the academic year 2016/2017, it is not possible to request extra funding from the special purpose scholarship for an Erasmus+ exchange.
• Respective institutes of the Faculty select students on the basis of two criteria combined: the student´s quality (study achievements, language competence, and academic motivation) and suitability of chosen partner university.

Mobility Length:

• The length depends on each particular project, the minimum stay is 2 months (60 days), the maximum is 12 months per study cycle. (If being previously on Erasmus+ study stay/training placement, the number of months on the E+ must be included in the sum of months and shall not exceed the 12 months for one study cycle).

Financial Conditions:

• The financial support is composed of two parts, grant for living expenses (accommodation and other living costs) and travel allowance supporting the travel expenses.

Grant for Living Expenses:

• Incoming Students: 800 EUR/month
• Outgoing Students: 700 EUR/month.

Travel Allowance:

• The amount depends on the distance between the home institution and the host institution.
• To calculate the distance, use the official distance calculator.
