GREEN TRAVEL
Green travel settlement rules for students/doctoral student/graduates under Erasmus + KA131 projects, starting from the academic year 2022/2023:
1. Buses, train, bicycle, and carpooling (a shared travel by car, belonging to one of the passengers, on the same route and with the same goal) are considered by the Erasmus+ programme to be ecological means of transportation. Travel by any other means of transportation does not meet those criteria.
2. Students/doctoral students/recent graduates can apply for a lump sum for travel costs resulting from using low-emissions means of transportation (so-called „green travel”) if the main part of the travel (more than a half of the return route) is made with such means. Such persons shall submit a declaration of the planned itinerary indicating the means of transportation: „Green Travel Declaration”.
3. In justified cases a student/doctoral student/recent graduate can apply for an additional individual support for subsistence allowance for up to 4 days of travel (in total for round trip). In order to do so, they have to fill relevant fields in „Green Travel Declaration”.
4. Number of granted additional travel days (in one way) depends on the distance between the location of AMKP and the seat of the host institution, calculated with the help of the on-line calculator available at the website of the European Commission (EC): http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm, according to the following distribution list:
Distance – Number of one-way travel days
0-1999 km – 1
2000 lub więcej – 2
5. Any additional co-financing due to „green travel”, if granted, will be paid along with other Erasmus+ scholarship components.
6. The declared means or time of travel is confirmed after return by submitting in the IRD a statement of realizing „green travel”: “Green Travel Statement”, along with the proofs listed in the statement.
7. If the travel is not confirmed in the above-mentioned manner, the student/doctoral student/recent graduate will be requested to reimburse the amount resulting from the „green travel” entitlements.
