Funding conditions: When participating in a blended short-term program, the physical mobility activity must last between 5 and 30 days and be complemented by a mandatory virtual component that enables a joint online learning experience and teamwork. A minimum of 3 ECTS credits must be achieved for the physical and virtual components combined.

• Registration via Mobility Online: Apply in Mobility Online for an available Erasmus place (green button = free place) at the host university.
• Nomination at the host university: The nomination can be made by the subject coordinator of the cooperation or the coordinator of your faculty.
• Application at the host university: After nomination by the coordinator, you apply for participation in the blended short term program directly to the call for applications at the host university.
