The Green Mobility Grant is a travel allowance for travel with low-emission means of transport in Europe. It is financed from HSBI’s own resources.
Applications are possible throughout the year as long as funds are available. The grant is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.
Almost half a million journeys take place annually in the university sector, with corresponding effects on the environment. HSBI wants to encourage all internationally mobile students to use transport with lower carbon emissions as an alternative to flying.
Finding bus and train connections
The website erasmusbytrain helps you book easy and cheap bus and train connections within Europe.
All regular HSBI students can apply from the 1st semester onwards.
In geographical Europe:
Low-emission means of transport such as bus, train or carpooling must be used for at least half of the journey. Please find examples in the download box.
The Green Mobility Grant is paid as a one-off travel allowance before the start of the stay.
*Distances are calculated using the EU distance calculator: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_de
Simultaneous funding through the Promos scholarship, the Mobility Grant, Erasmus+ Semester Abroad, Erasmus+ Internship Abroad and/or Auslands-BAföG is possible.
Applications are possible throughout the year as long as funds are available. Please send your duly completed application form (provided in the download box on the left-hand side of this page) to: international.office@hsbi.de.
You do not need to submit further documents at the time of your application. Before the grant is paid out, you must submit a confirmation of the stay abroad (e.g. a letter confirming your study place or internship, a place in a summer/winter school or the confirmation of the supervisor for your thesis or term paper).
Selection procedures and criteria
The Green Mobility Grant is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, i.e. according to the order of the eligible applications received. The funding thus depends on the time of application, not on the time of departure or return.
The funding requirements must be fulfilled; no further selection will take place. The funding confirmation is subject to the realisation of the stay abroad and the submission of the completion documents.After your stay abroad, the following documents must be submitted to international.office@hsbi.de within 30 days.
If you have already submitted an experience report for the same stay as part of an Erasmus+ funding, you do not need to submit an additional experience report.
