• Every first-, second-, or third-cycle student holding student status at Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) is eligible to apply for an Erasmus+ grant for short-term mobility.
• For first- and second-cycle students, regardless of the type of short-term mobility, participation in a virtual component is mandatory. The virtual component is delivered online and enables teamwork and exchange of experience through e-learning activities.
• For doctoral students, the virtual component is optional.
• BIPs and summer schools are carried out under an Erasmus+ Inter-Institutional Agreement and take place at partner universities.

1.  Only student who hold SGGW student status at the time of mobility are eligible to participate in Erasmus+ short-term mobility.
2. Participants must demonstrate proficiency in the language of instruction at B1 or B2 level, depending on the requirements of the host institution. Language competence should enable students to communicate effectively, understand academic texts, write assignments, and actively participate in classes.
3. Applications for Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) (combined mobility with a virtual component) and summer schools are accepted on a rolling basis, whenever an offer is received by SGGW.
4. When SGGW participates in a BIP as a partner institution, recruitment is conducted by the relevant academic unit, which subsequently submits the final list of selected students to the International Relations Office (IRO).
5. If a BIP or summer school offer is addressed directly to the IRO, recruitment is conducted by the IRO in cooperation with the partner institution.
6. Information about recruitment is published on the SGGW website (IRO News), social media channels, and distributed to the relevant faculties.

Selection Criteria

Candidates are assessed on the basis of:

• relevance of the study programme to the course subject,
• grade point average (GPA),
• involvement in university activities (e.g. student organizations, promotional events),
• previous participation in the Erasmus+ Programme (priority may be given to students who have not yet participated in Erasmus+ mobility).

Students and doctoral candidates selected for mobility must contact the International Relations Office (IRO) to initiate the departure procedure and submit:

• Personal Data Form together with the GDPR consent form;
• Online Learning Agreement (OLA) for studies

After receiving approval, the student/doctoral candidate must:

1. prepare the mobility application according to the instructions provided by the IRO;
2. if applicable, sign the Green Travel Declaration;

4. obtain appropriate insurance:
   • students travelling to an EU Member State or Norway must hold a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC);

   • students travelling to countries where the EHIC is not valid are required to purchase private health insurance;
   • personal accident (NNW) and third-party liability (OC) insurance are recommended by SGGW;
5. complete all visa, residence permit, and border crossing formalities independently.
