Key questions about who can participate, how to apply, recognition, and support for your mobility.
Who can apply for mobility within ChallengeEU?
Mobility opportunities are open to students, academic staff, and administrative staff at ChallengeEU partner universities. Specific eligibility criteria depend on the programme and on your home institution’s regulations, so please check with your local international office.
How do I start my application?
Start by exploring the ChallengeEU Course Catalogue and your university’s mobility pages. Then contact your international office or programme coordinator, who will guide you through deadlines, required documents, and the application steps used at your institution.
What about recognition of my studies or training?
Before your mobility, you will agree on a learning or training plan with your home and host institutions. This forms the basis for academic or professional recognition when you return, following the rules of your home university and the relevant programme framework.
Is funding available and where can I get details?
Many mobilities are supported through European and national funding schemes managed by your home institution. For precise information on available grants, eligibility, and conditions, please contact your international office or check your university’s mobility webpages.
