Erasmus+ Mobility for Traineeships: what is it and how to apply

Erasmus+ Mobility for traineeships is the EU-promoted student mobility programme which gives students a chance to broaden their vocational and training curriculum by working abroad in any public sector company or a private commercial enterprise located in European countries that have joined the Erasmus+ Programme. The Erasmus+ Mobility for traineeships Call for applications is published every year by the University of Bologna.

However, you may consult the call for AY 2024/25 to get a general idea of the application methods. Remember that the application requirements and attachments may be modified for AY 2025/26. The updated documents will be available in the new call.
