Erasmus+ Green Travel
The new Erasmus+ program generation includes aspects of sustainability, climate change and environmental protection and provides a Green Travel Top-up for students who opt for sustainable means of transportation.
Additional Travel Days
Participants who require extended time for travel due to the use of sustainable transportation are eligible to apply for up to 4 additional days of funding under the Individual Support for Sustainable Travel. We recommend the following:
- Outward/return journey of less than 8 hours = 0 additional travel days
- Outward/return journey of more than 8 hours = 1 additional travel day
- Outward/return journey of more than 2 calender days = 2 additional travel days
Application, Documentation & Sample Checks
Students who have been selected in the regular application process and meet the respective funding criteria are eligible to apply for the Green Travel Top-up.
Depending on the type of mobility, students select the respective top-up via when applying or when documenting their stay via our MoveON Outgoing Portal. Once the Declaration on Honour has been submitted, the top-up application is considered complete.
Students must keep the signed hard copy of the Declaration on Honor as well as all travel-related documents proving the use of means of transport with low emission for the majority of the round-trip must be saved and stored for a duration of 5 years in case of random checks.

Depending on your country of destination, travelling by land can be very easy to arrange. Websites such as Erasmus by train, Nachtzugkarte or Train Travel Guide "Man in Seat 61" will help you plan your itinerary.
Interrail Pass for Erasmus+
The new Interrail Pass for Erasmus+ offers a special opportunity to explore Europe. This enables you to travel freely through Europe on any four or six days within six months. Further information is provided in the info-sheet Interrail Pass for Erasmus+.

In the DAAD brochure Klimaverträglich unterwegs (German only), you will find tips and suggestions on how to successfully achieve sustainable mobility.
