myinternship.eu is focusing currently on advertising non-corporate internships, mostly in start-ups, SMEs, NGOs, non-profits and institutes.

Erasmus+ internships are usually unpaid, but there is a financial support from the EU available. The level of Erasmus+ funding varies between 400-800€ depending on the combination of sending and receiving country. Erasmus+ interns apply for this EU grant at their university as a contribution to their costs for travel, insurance, accommodation and food. Find your country-specific Erasmus+ funding level in the section below.

Employers usually, however, provide their interns also with additional financial benefits such as public transportation reimbursement, meal vouchers or partial financial remuneration. 
Erasmus+ mobility grant can be received in addition to any salary/remuneration agreed by your internship provider.

Students with special needs or from disadvantaged background can receive additional amount to the Erasmus+ grant.

Working remotely (in home office) from your home country is possible, but with zero Erasmus+ grant and this period cannot be funded.

No. Students carrying out internships abroad will receive an additional top-up of 100 – 200€ per month comparing to mobility for studies. The precise level is always determined each year by National Agencies and/or universities according to the level of demand and level of co-financing for this type of mobility. Please, inform yourself about Erasmus+ grant conditions at your home university.

• Mobility towards a country with similar living costs (within the same group)
• Mobility towards a country with higher living costs (e.g. from Group 2 to Group 1)
• Mobility towards a country with lower living costs (e.g. from Group 1 to Group 2)

Sending institutions – universities play a crucial role in Erasmus+ Traineeship Programme:

They ensure that

1. Your internship is relevant for your degree-related learning and approve your programme by signing Learning Agreement for Traineeships.
2. Administrative matters in preparation period regarding your grant application are fulfilled.
3. Personal support from a contact person at the sending institution (university) is provided to you during the whole internship period.
4. Financial support is administered and paid to you.
5. Work placement is academically recognised (e.g. ECTS, Diploma Supplement or Transcript of Records)

Please, contact International Office of your university to know more about administrative matters and deadlines for grant application.

My Internship is a digital career platform facilitating easier connection between students and employers. On one hand, it enables employers to advertise their internship vacancies, interact with candidates and recruit. On the other hand, it helps students/future graduates to find a host organisation in easier, faster and more transparent way. We tailor our internship offer and database of employers based on the demand of students.

We support students from professional perspective and assist in finding desired internship placement.

We do NOT administer grant application/funding, nor provide assistance with administrative matters of Erasmus+ programme as the grant application process is university-specific. If you have any questions regarding grant application process itself and deadlines, contact the International Office/Mobility Department at your home university.
