Inclusion support from Erasmus+

Students with long-term or permanent disabilities are entitled to inclusion support (referred to as “inclusion support top-up” in the application).

Permanent disabilities include, but are not limited to, physical disability and illness, mental health issues, and neuropsychiatric diagnoses. This may include, for example, mobility impairment, visual or hearing impairment, and chronic diseases; anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder; ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and dyscalculia.

The traineeship grant amounts to:

• 250 euros per month for students undertaking exchange studies or practical traineeships with a grant from Erasmus+.
• 100 euros in a single payment for students enrolled in a course involving so-called blended mobility, where the study period on-site at the host university is 5–14 days.
• 150 euros in a single payment for students enrolled in a course involving so-called blended mobility, where the study period on-site at the host university is 15–30 days.

Application

• In MoveON, answer "yes" to the question "Would you like to apply for an additional grant for applicants with disabilities?".
• Fill in, print, and sign the document Application for inclusion support top-up for studying abroad within Erasmus+ pdf, 119 kB. (PDF).
• Arrange a certificate that verifies your disability. If you have one from the coordinator for targeted pedagogical support at Uppsala University, you may use it. Your name must be included in the certificate, and it will be treated as sensitive personal data.
• Send your signed "Application for inclusion support top-up for studying abroad within Erasmus+" and the certificate to:
  
  Uppsala universitet

  Box 256

Payment of Inclusion Support

70 per cent of the inclusion support is paid out together with the first instalment of your Erasmus traineeship grant for studies or practical traineeships, and the remainder is paid with the final instalment.

Students with children are eligible for the inclusion top-up for studies within Erasmus+, regardless of whether the child, or children, accompany them on the exchange or not.

The grant amounts to:

• 250 euro per month for students undertaking exchange studies or a traineeship with an Erasmus+ grant.
• 100 euro as a lump sum for students taking a course involving so-called blended mobility, where the physical study period at the host university is 5–14 days.
• 150 euro as a lump sum for students taking a course involving so-called blended mobility, where the physical study period at the host university is 15–30 days.

Application

1. In MoveON, answer "yes" to the question "Would you like to apply for the inclusion top-up for applicants with children?".
2. Order a family certificate from the Swedish Tax Agency's website confirming that you are the parent of the child/children. The certificate will be sent to you by post. Once you have received it, scan it and upload it to your application in MoveON.
   
   The family certificate must clearly show your name and the child's/children's name(s), as well as your relationship to each other. If you are not a Swedish citizen and cannot obtain a family certificate, please contact us at erasmus@uu.se.

Payment of Inclusion Support

70 per cent of the inclusion support is paid out together with the first instalment of your Erasmus traineeship grant for studies or practical traineeships, and the remainder is paid with the final instalment.

If you can demonstrate that the actual costs will be greater than the support you apply for in the categories above, it is possible to apply for additional support to cover these.

When applying for the inclusion support for actual costs, you, as a student, must justify your needs and costs. The application is processed at Uppsala University but must also be approved by the Swedish Council for Higher Education (UHR).

Examples of costs:

• preparatory visits to the study or traineeship location
• transport of equipment, aids, or medication
• adapted accommodation in connection with a disability
• accompanying assistant
• childcare and accommodation costs for accompanying children
• continued psychological treatment at the study location

Please note that:

• you can only receive compensation for the costs that exceed the inclusion support you have already been granted (within the respective category)
• you can only apply for compensation for support that Uppsala University, the host organisation, or the host university does not offer in any other form
