ERASMUS+ Inclusion and Diversity Strategy
The Erasmus+ program aims to ensure equal opportunities, access, inclusion, diversity, and fairness in all its activities. In this context, ensuring the equal participation of individuals with various barriers (social, economic, physical, psychological, etc.) in projects is of particular importance.

Erasmus+ Inclusion and Diversity Support
Participants with special needs are individuals who cannot participate in the program without additional financial support. Support may include:

  • Assistance for physical, mental, or health needs (accessible accommodation, travel assistance, medical support, suitable materials, or accompanying persons).
  • Additional grants and supplementary support to enable participation.

Additional Grant
An additional grant may be provided for participants with special needs in the areas of physical or mental health. This grant may exceed standard grants to compensate for encountered difficulties and is based on actual costs.

Supplementary Grant Support
Disadvantaged participants may be awarded a supplementary grant in addition to their main grant. This includes:

  1. Those entitled to protection, care, or accommodation under Law No. 2828 or 5395.
  2. Orphans or children of martyrs or veterans.
  3. Students receiving a need-based allowance.
  4. Persons with disabilities (documented with a 70% or higher disability report).
  5. Other socially and economically disadvantaged categories.
