PRACTICES & INTERNSHIPS

Student Mobility for Traineeships: a traineeship (work placement, internship) abroad in an enterprise, a research institute, a laboratory, an organisation or any other relevant workplace. Traineeships abroad are supported during studies at any study cycle and for recent graduates. This also includes teaching assistantships for student teachers and research assistantships for students and doctoral candidates in any relevant research facility. To further enhance the synergies with Horizon Europe, these mobilities can also take place in the context of Horizon Europe funded research projects, in full respect of the principle of no double EU funding of activities. Wherever possible, the traineeships can be an integrated part of the student's study programme.

Duration
Student mobility for traineeships: from 2 to 12 months of physical mobility.
Mobility for traineeships for doctoral candidates: from 5 to 30 days (Short PhD) or from 2 to 12 months of physical mobility (a study mobility may include a complementary traineeship period, if planned). 
Total eligible duration per study cycle: The same student may participate in mobility periods totalling up to 12 months of physical mobility maximum per each cycle of study
The duration of a traineeship by recent graduates counts towards the 12 months maximum of the cycle during which they apply for the traineeship. 
 
Student Mobility for Traineeships: Mobility Destinations
Students must carry out their physical mobility activity in an EU Member State or third countries associated to the Programme or a third country not associated to the Programme different from the country of the sending organisation and the country where the student has his/her accommodation during his/her studies.
