Erasmus+ Placements

This action enables students at higher education institutions to spend a placement period
between 2 months and 12 months in an enterprise or organization in another participating
country.

The objectives of student mobility for placements are:

•To help students to adapt to the requirements of the EU-wide labor market;
•To enable students to develop specific skill including language skills and to improve
understanding of the economic and social culture of the country concerned in the context of
acquiring work experience;
•To promote cooperation between Higher Education Institutions and enterprises;
•To contribute to the development of a pool of well-qualified, open-minded and
internationally experienced young people as future professionals.

Student 'placement' is an alternative term to the widely used term 'traineeship' or 'internship'.
Host organizations for student placements may be enterprises, training centers, research
centers and other organizations.

The following types of organizations are not eligible as host organizations:

 EU institutions and other EU bodies including specialized agencies (their exhaustive list is
available on the website ec.europa.eu/institutions/index_en.htm);
 organizations managing EU programs (in order to avoid a possible conflict of interests
and/or double funding);
 national diplomatic representations (embassy and consulate) of the home country of the
student.

Erasmus+ students are selected by their home Higher Education Institutions in a fair and
transparent way.

Prior to their departure, students sign a „Learning Agreement For Traineeships”, a document
that includes all the information about the Erasmus+ Placements mobility.

At the end of the period abroad, full recognition must be given by the home Higher Education
Institution for the period spent abroad as agreed in the “Learning Agreement For Traineeships”.
