Contributions for students with special needs

RADMEP+ aims to promote equal access, particularly for students with special needs. During the funding period 2025-2031 by the EACEA, the programme has received fundings to support selected students with long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments.

Students with disabilities may receive a contribution to individual needs up to a certain maximum if they fulfil the general eligibility conditions as set in the EACEA grant agreement. Funding shall be provided for assistance e.g., by third persons, for adaptation of work environment, or additional travel/transportation costs. This offer is available to all enrolled students, Erasmus+ scholarship holders and non-scholarship holders (self-paying students).

Eligibility conditions:

  • enrolled student,
  • disability long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments,
  • nature of disability won’t allow participation in the EMJM without special needs items or services,
