Within the framework of this call, the Erasmus+ program allows students to complete part of their regular study obligations, practical training, research work or preparation of a doctoral thesis at the third cycle of studies at an institution abroad instead of at their home institution.
This call is open to doctoral students who will start their short-term doctoral mobility for the purpose of study or internship abroad from 1 November 2026 until 30 September 2027 at the latest or until the funds are used up, if this occurs earlier.

- organisations managing EU programmes.
The student may also not carry out mobility in Slovenia, in the country of their permanent residence and in the country of their nationality. The student must reside in the host university abroad for the entire period of Erasmus+ mobility.
It is not possible to apply for mobility for the purpose of attending conferences abroad under this call.
Within the framework of this call, a student can carry out mobility for the purpose of study and internship in Erasmus+ programme countries (EU member states, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey) and in partner countries of regions 13 and 14 and in 3rd countries not associated with the Erasmus+ programme. Internships in partner countries of regions 13 and 14 and in 3rd countries not associated with the Erasmus+ programme can only be carried out at an accredited higher education institution.
To apply for the public call, the applicant must complete the application at least 40 days and no more than 60 days before the start of the mobility. The application must include:
- in the case of mobility for the purpose of study:
- Erasmus+ Learning Agreement, signed by the student, the domestic and foreign Erasmus+ coordinator and
- research plan, approved by the domestic and hosting institution.
- in the case of mobility for the purpose of internship:
- Erasmus+ Learning Agreement for Traineeship, signed by the student, the domestic and foreign Erasmus+ coordinator/employer and with a defined content of the internship.
The student must apply for Erasmus+ financial assistance and any supplements via the online application at VIS UL. Erasmus+ financial assistance must be paid to the student BEFORE the start of the mobility.
Erasmus+ financial assistance co-finances the costs of mobility abroad and does not cover the costs in full. A student who receives an Erasmus+ financial grant is still entitled to receive any national scholarship.
The financial support for students who will be funded from this call depends on the number of days on mobility and in the KA131 2026 project amounts to:
| MOBILITY DURATION | DAILY AMOUNT | ONE-OFF TOP-UP FOR STUDENTS WITH FEWER OPPORTUNITIES |
| up to and including the 14th day of physical mobility | 79 €/day | 100 € |
| from the 15th to the 30th day of physical mobility | 56 €/day | 150 € |
If necessary, the financial support may also include 1 day of travel before the activity and 1 day after it.
Selected students from fewer opportunities will be able to receive additional support in addition to the basic Erasmus+ financial support. The conditions for eligibility for this supplement are that the student, at the time of application to the call (or at the latest by the start of the mobility):
- has the status of a student with special needs or
- has the status of a student with a special status (status of a categorized athlete, recognized artist/cultural figure, participant in international competitions or parental status) or
- the student or a member of the student’s household (living in the same household as the student) has:
- a decision by the CSD (state scholarship, cash social assistance, care allowance, child allowance or allowance for large families) or
- a decision issued by ZZZS or

- a decision issued by ZPIZ, e.g. proving disability or
- comes from a single-parent family or
- comes from a foster family or
- is granted international protection by Slovenina or
- is a member of the Roma community.
In case the student does not have Slovenian citizenship, in order to be entitled to the allowance for students with fewer opportunities, they must submit other appropriate evidence (originals and translations into English or Slovenian) proving that they come from an environment with fewer opportunities. These are:
- a certificate from the household register showing how many persons live with the applicant in the same household;
- income certificates for the applicant and all household members living in the same household for the last full previous calendar year.
Students are also entitled to travel support, the amount of which depends on the one-way distance between the location of the sending organisation (Ljubljana) and the implementation of the activity and the mode of travel (green travel or not). The EU Distance Calculator (https://erasmus-plus.ec.europa.eu/resources-and-tools/distance-calculator) is used to calculate the distance.
