Dear Students and Dear Erasmus+ Coordinators,

What is the Erasmus+ Internship Mobility?
Activities to be carried out under the scope of the Erasmus+ Internship Mobility will be the internship at an organization or institution overseas from the institution of higher institution at which the student is registered. Internship is the process of gaining occupational training and/or work experience at an organization or business in another country.
The Erasmus+ Internship Mobility cannot be used in order to carry out research work, analysis studies related to academic studies within the scope of a specific curriculum. Internship activities intend for the student to gain practical work experience in the area of which he is a student.
How Long Does The Erasmus+ Internship Mobility Last?
If the student wishing to participate in the internship mobility is receiving education in an associate degree, undergraduate, post graduate or doctoral program, the internship may be at least 2 months and at most 12 months.
What Characteristics Must the Internship Organizations Possess?
The organizations where students carry out their internships may be businesses, education centres, research centres or other institutions suited to the definition of an enterprise. In this context, all enterprises conducting all kinds of economic activities, including social economy, private or public institution/organization, regardless of economic industry in which they operate, their legal statuses and size are considered suited.
If the organization at which the internship will take place is not an institution of higher education it will be considered an enterprise, and there will be no requirement for the Erasmus+ University Charter. However, students applying must obtain approval of the organization they will visit from their coordinators.
Which Organizations Are Not Suitable For Erasmus+ Internship?
