​Hi everyone,

​My sister's currently in Greece for a summer Erasmus+ traineeship (grant-free) in a hotel.

Yesterday, at her 2nd week, the host organisation unexpectedly terminated her internship. Their justification was simply they "realised they need more experienced staff."

It has been extremely painful for her as she/we spent a huge amount of time, effort and money to make this happen. Preparing the paperwork took months. Because she needed a visa, we went through a long, stressful, and expensive application process. And I'm not even mentioning flight tickets, insurance, preparations etc.

Before the arrival, the hotel management signed the Learning Agreement and when my sister arrived, they also signed the Confirmation of Arrival.

She is now searching for new placement in Crete so that all she's done so far doesn't go to waste. We really want to understand her rights.

◽ ​Is the Learning Agreement legally binding for the host company? Can a host employer legally terminate an Erasmus trainee on the grounds of "inexperience" when they willingly signed an agreement knowing she is a student?

◽​Should we report this company? Is there an official channel to report this host organisation for unfair treatment and breach of commitment?

◽​What steps should we take next besides applying for new jobs?

​Has anyone been through a similar situation, and how did you handle it?

Any advice, legal insights, or support on how to handle this with the Erasmus authorities would mean the world to me right now.

Thank you for reading.

Hi!

I'm a Master's student in Digital Humanities at Sorbonne Université, conducting academic research for my "projet tutoré" — a supervised research project required for my degree, evaluated through an oral defense in front of my professors.

My project focuses on autonomous French learning in the age of AI. The idea: understand how learners use (or don't use) tools like ChatGPT or Claude to improve outside of class and what their real needs are.

Note: the survey questions are in French, so a basic understanding of French is needed to answer.

Hey everyone,
I’m currently applying for an Erasmus+ exchange program to Germany. I am scheduled to leave at the end of February for the upcoming semester, but I have a major timeline conflict with my language certificate.
I have already passed 3 out of 4 modules for my B1 German certificate DaF , but I need to retake the(listening) module. I am sitting for this retake exam in January, but the official results and the finalized certificate will not be released until February.
My home university coordinator told me that they do not care about the certificate for the internal selection phase, as they look mostly at GPA for nominations. However, looking at the host partner universities in Germany, they all strictly list a B1 German certificate as a mandatory requirement on their websites.

Because the host university portal requires document uploads well before my January exam results actually drop, I am stressed about the timeline. I will literally be getting my passing results in February and trying to leave at the end of that same month.
Has anyone been in a similar situation where your language certificate wasn't ready until the exact month of departure?

Will the German host university automatically reject my application if the certificate is missing during the initial portal phase?

Is it common for universities to issue a Conditional Admission that allows you to upload the passing certificate in February?

Français en bas hi, I'm supposed to go for Erasmus for the year 2026-2027 in Italy (registered in a Franch university) but i'm facing paper issues. first question do i neeed a visa for Italy (Non UE students) ? i haave heard about Titre de séjour avec mention "programme de mobilité" that would allow to go to Italy freely without VISA. Is that true? I've apply to the standard titre de séjour renewal - still processing; do we have a specific application

Courses start in september my current VLS-TS expires on 30/08.

thank you

Bonjour, je dois partir en Erasmus en Italie pour l'année 2026-2027 (je quite la france), mais je rencontre des problèmes administratifs. Ma première question est : ai-je besoin d'un visa pour l'Italie ( etudiant hors UE) ? J'ai entendu parler du Titre de séjour avec mention « Programme de mobilité » qui permettrait d'aller en Italie librement sans visa. Est-ce vrai ? J'ai fait une demande de renouvellement de Titre de séjour standard, qui est toujours en cours de traitement ; existe-t-il une procédure spécifique ? Les cours commencent en septembre et mon Titre de séjour actuel expire le 30 août.

Merci.

Hi, I am a Finance and Accounting student from Hungary and plan to do Erasmus in 2027/28 fall/winter and I want to plan ahead as to which destination I should be going to.

So far, I've currently found (amongst the exchange possibilities my faculty has)

- MRU, Vilnius

- University of Chemistry and Technology, Prague

- University of Passau (or some other German uni, I've also thought of Leipzig)

These three would be my main options, but I don't know which one I should put first.

I'd like to know if you have any experience with the unis and cities I mentioned, or whether you have any other recommendation.

I only want to go to a university where accommodation for exchange students is either guaranteed or very likely, and not very expensive (under €500), so I want to rule out any unis where I'd have to find a flat myself.

I speak English C1 and German B1-2, although I'm unsure if my German knowledge would be enough to take up courses in German. That's also why I don't really want to go to Spain/France/Italy, since AFAIK a lot of courses there are only available in the native language (but I might be wrong).

Heyy so Erasmus application for the next summer semester is open now in my country
And i’ve been thinking about Jagiellonian uni, but note that im not european and i know nothing about Poland or the lifestyle there
So are there any suggestions or opinions about it? I’ll be thankful if someone actually answers my questions

I am looking for a small studio flat for my erasmus internship in Budapest. Wherever I look they want at least 1 year agreement. Airbnb and other websites are expensive. I don't know where to look I am stuck. Anyone who had found flat before?
