Following the suspension of negotiations with the EU for membership to the Erasmus+ programme, the Federal Council adopted a transitional solution to continue to allow students, teachers and administrative staff of the institutions to implement Mobility projects in Europe.

Thanks to the "Swiss-European Mobility Programme" (SEMP) it is therefore possible to have mobility to and from Switzerland with the universities of the Erasmus+ participating countries in possession of an Erasmus+ university charter.
With the funds made available by the Confederation are currently financed both the costs of outgoing mobility and the costs of foreign participants to Swiss mobility projects (incoming). However, the assumption of these costs is subject to the guidelines of the Swiss National Agency and the number of annually available grants.

Every year each participating Swiss university in the programme has to apply for a number of scholarships to support the mobility that will be carried out in the following academic year. The International Office, in collaboration with the departmental coordinators, evaluates the requests made with the mobility call notice in December as well the historic ones from previous years. The allocation of the scholarships by the National agency Movetia is made mainly on the actual allocation in previous years (the number of students who have actually been in mobility).

The SEMP program allows you to perform a maximum of 12 months of mobility for study and/or internships per study cycle, including post-graduate internships up to one year after graduation. Mobility carried out in the same study cycle of a different degree course are counted in these 12 months. This means that potentially a student may receive support for their mobility for up to 12 months.

Call 2023-2024

Mobilities will be managed with the new mobility management programme Mobility Online and below we provide links to the application forms according to the type of mobility you wish to carry out.

Please log in with your SUPSI ID-Windows (nome.cognome@supsi.ch and NOT @student.supsi.ch).

The call for applications for postgraduate mobility is annual; applications must therefore be made with the autumn call.

Pay attention:

• students resident in Italy and wishing to undertake mobility in Italy must apply for international mobility.
• If an internship will be undertaken within a semester of study, the mobility for study must be selected.

If you are unsure which type of mobility to select, please read the description of each mobility, opposite.

Main call for applications: 21 November 2022

Deadline for submission:

•     DTI and DEASS Social Work: 07 January 2023
•     DFA, DACD and DEASS Health, Business Administration and Leisure Management: 23 January 2023

Once you have handed in your application, it will be assessed and a meeting will then be scheduled with the departmental mobility coordinator to discuss your choices and to find out whether the requirements set by each department are met and you can then proceed with your application.

Don't miss the opportunity of an experience with a Swiss, European or international partner as part of your course of study or at the end!

In summer 2023 a second call for applications will be opened for the spring semester 2023-24; however, the allocation according to the chosen destination cannot be guaranteed
