The duration of the ELOs can vary from one/two days to a few weeks or a whole semester.

The learning opportunities are aimed at students enrolled in a Master's degree programme or attending the last year of a Bachelor's degree or at least the third year of a single-cycle Master's degree. Participants must have at least a B2 English level (CEFR for languages). In some cases, the opportunities are also open to phd students (third cycle of studies).
They are not compatible with simultaneous participation in other mobility programmes for which one has already been selected, unless the ECIU activity is planned at the same university where one has been accepted for the exchange mobility (in which case no additional financial support is provided).

Enrich your experience, contribute to real social change and collaborate with businesses and public institutions to solve real life challenges.  
Gain international experience and build your network of connections by working with other students, faculty, experts, business and organisation representatives from different territories and backgrounds.
Enhance your intercultural skills, share practices and ideas, develop the ability to solve problems and work in a team.
Make a real impact and seize the opportunity to further develop the proposed solutions, create new services, products, research opportunities, start-ups and spin-offs.

You can apply for financial support only for 1 ELO per semester and for a maximum of 3 mobilities during your studies at UniTrento University.
Financial support is not provided if  the ELO is totally virtual.
In the event of physical mobility, that cannot exceed 30 days' duration, you may receive a financial support, to help you covering travel and accommodation expenses abroad:

•  € 70,00/day for mobility from 1 to 14 days;
•  € 50,00/day for mobility from 15 to 30 days.

When calculating the contribution, 2 travel days will be funded as mobility days (e.g. if the physical activity lasts 7 days, you will receive funding for 9 days, for a total € 630 = € 70*9).

An additional financial contribution - € 100 for a mobility till 14 days and € 150 for a mobility from 15 up to 30 days - is provided for students with fewer opportunities who declare to belong to one of the following categories:

• Students (I and II level) with an ISEE value from € 0 up to € 24.335,11 (students who are not asked to provide ISEE by UniTrento will be automatically included into this category);
• Students with medically certified physical, mental or other health conditions;
• Students from a migrant background and refugees;
• Students with minor children;
• Student workers;
• Students who are Professional Athletes; 
• Students who are orphans of at least one parent;
• Students who are children of victims of terrorism and organised crime.

If you opt for sustainable means of transport (train, bus, sharing car, bycicle) to reach the country of destination, you might receive a single contribution of € 50 and up to 4 days of travel will be recognized in addition to study grant. 

Green Travel

 

If you are a student with fewer opportunities you will receive a financial contribution for the travel, based on the distance between Trento/Rovereto (location of your Department/Center/Faculty) and the City of the Host University. In case of Green Travel you will not receive the € 50 top-up, but you might receive up to 4 days of travel and the financial contribution for the travel (see the Green Travel column in the table below).

Distance	Financial contribution for the travel (standard)	Financial contribution for the travel (Green travel)
10-99 KM	€ 23	€ 23 (same of the standard)
100-499 KM	€ 180	€ 210
500-1999 KM	€ 275	€ 320
2000-2999 KM	€ 360	€ 410
3000-3999 KM	€ 530	€ 610

 

All the above contributions will be paid after the mobility upon submission of the required documents.
