Call for Erasmus+ KA131 Mobility Applications for Traineeships
The Erasmus+ programme enables students and recent graduates to undertake a traineeship abroad as part of their studies or within 12 months of graduation. Traineeships can be carried out in companies, organisations, research institutions, or other relevant host organisations participating in the Erasmus+ programme.
The traineeship must be related to the student’s field of study. Mobility is available in all study cycles (Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral level) and may last from a minimum of 2 months (60 days) up to a maximum of 12 months.

Call for Applications
Applications for Erasmus+ Traineeship Mobility can be submitted throughout the year, as there is no fixed application deadline.
Traineeships may be undertaken in any public or private organisation active in the labour market, education, training, research, innovation, or the non-governmental and non-profit sectors. An Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement is not required for this type of Mobility.
The following organisations are not eligible as host institutions:
- EU institutions and other EU bodies, including specialised agencies (a detailed list is available here)
- Organisations managing EU programmes, such as Erasmus+ National Agencies
The University of Primorska is also a member of the UniAdrion Association (Association of Universities of the Adriatic-Ionian Region), which promotes cooperation among universities and research centres to strengthen international collaboration and foster cultural, scientific, educational, and research development across the Adriatic-Ionian region (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Greece, Croatia, Italy, San Marino, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia).
More information about international traineeship opportunities is available on the UniAdrion website.
