Erasmus+ mobility

Inalco has signed numerous agreements with European universities in application of the Erasmus+ Charter issued to Inalco by the European Commission.

Inalco participates in the Erasmus+ program by pursuing its mission along 2 axes:

• The development of its cooperation within Europe: strengthening "orientalist" poles and links with partners in Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltic States, whose languages and cultures are taught at Inalco.
• The development of its cooperation with Third Countries (Asia in particular) whose languages and cultures are taught at Inalco.

The Erasmus+ exchange program enables students to spend part of their degree course at a European university partnering Inalco, with financial assistance from the European Commission.

Student mobility/study stays in integrated curricula aim to provide students with an immersion experience and/or complementarity to their studies. A study contract is signed between the student, Inalco and the partner institution.

The courses that the student takes at the host university will be recognized and validated at the end of the stay (in agreement with the referent teachers at Inalco and provided that the student passes his/her exams on site) as part of the degree for which the student is registered at Inalco. The duration of the mobility can vary between 3 months and one academic year.

Eligible students are students from L2 to PhD, enrolled at Inalco in main registration during the academic year of their departure.

The deadline for application for departures in 2023/2024 depends on your department of study: all information is available in the form.

Once your application has been accepted, the person in charge of the Erasmus+ program will contact the partner institution to make your nomination. The host university will then contact you directly to inform you of the procedures to follow.

In parallel, you will complete the Erasmus+ mobility contract(including the pedagogical contract), a document that will enable your mobility to be monitored at the financialand pedagogical level, before, during and after your study stay.

Department students must imperatively have their educational contract validated by their department head. The validation of all three pedagogical managers (department, RRI and filière) is therefore essential for the students concerned.

Any pedagogical component not included in the pedagogical contract and not approved upstream by your referent managers at Inalco will not be eligible for recognition of prior learning on your return from mobility.

It is essential to stay in touch with your professors and the Erasmus+ pole of the International Relations Department during your mobility.
You will also need to provide the person in charge of the Erasmus+ program at Inalco with your contact details (local address and telephone number) so you can be reached quickly should the need arise.

Documents useful for your mobility:

• Certificate of arrival
• Certificate of departure
• Study Mobility Kit - Convention 2022
• Pieces to provide before, during and after mobility
• Help: how to fill in my mobility kit?

The Erasmus+ program pays particular attention to the reception, orientation and educational and technical support of individuals recognized as having fewer opportunities.

An inclusion flat-rate financial supplement is allocated to cover the additional costs associated with mobility (specific accommodation, assistance from a companion during the trip, medical follow-up, material support, home help, life auxiliary, etc.) and thus ensure the same access to Erasmus+ mobilities for all. It amounts to 250 € per month.

The first groups concerned are people with disabilities (physical, mental, disabling illness) and grant holders on social criteria (echelons 6 and 7).
