Apresentação do programa Erasmus

To ensure that a person whose individual physical, mental or health-related conditions are such that his/her participation in Erasmus+ would not be possible without extra financial support can take full advantage of European mobility arrangements, Erasmus+ pays particular attention to guidance, reception, pedagogical and technical support services, and, especially, financing the extra costs.

Additional funding is available for participants with physical, mental or health-related conditions via the Erasmus+ inclusion support. Erasmus+ grants may therefore be higher than the regular study, traineeship or staff grants to offset the specific difficulties faced by the participant (such as adapted accommodation, travel assistance, medical attendance, supportive equipment, adaption of learning material, an accompanying person for students and staff with disabilities). This additional support grant is a contribution based on real costs.

Students and staff with physical, mental or health-related conditions can request to ISCET such additional grant support.

In preparation of the Erasmus+ mobility period, a participant with physical, mental or health-related conditions should indicate her/his needs and extra costs in order to apply for the Erasmus+ inclusion support grant with the support of their sending higher education institution.
Contact the International Relations Office of ISCET about the application procedure (application deadline, where you can obtain the application form, where to submit your application form etc.).
ISCET will assess your application and will inform the participant on the additional amount you may receive in accordance with the Programme.

In general, ISCET will ensure that the necessary arrangements are being made at the receiving institution to meet your specific needs, provided that you have disclosed your physical, mental or health-related conditions.
To find out more on the sort of facilities available at your receiving higher education institution before going abroad, you can get into direct contact with the person who is responsible for these matters at your prospective receiving higher education institution. The International Relations Office of ISCET is able to assist you.
In order to better identify what services each institution can offer to mobile participants, higher education institutions can specify whether they have the infrastructure to welcome students and staff with physical, mental or health related conditions in their Inter-Institutional Agreements with their partner institutions, and outlining what kind of support services are offered to students.
Useful information can be found on the Inclusive Mobility website.
You can also ask your National Agency to provide you with more information on specific issues that are of concern to you when planning your exchange period abroad.
The European Agency for Special Needs and Inclusive Education provides a list of links, points of contact, and information for countries around the EU/EEA who may be of assistance for students with special educational needs.
