*According to the Erasmus Mundus Action 2 programme guide:

Candidates must have not resided nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in any of the eligible European countries at the time of submitting their application to the partnership.

This rule does NOT apply to Staff candidates regardless of the target group to which they belong.

The 12 months rule applies also when the period is not continuous; different periods of stay in any eligible European country will be added up. Examples:

a) You have spent 5 months in 2009 in Spain and 8 months in 2011 in Germany à you are NOT eligible since 5 + 8 = 13 months.

b) You have spent 4 months in 2009 in Portugal and 7 months in 2011 in Italy à you are eligible since 4 + 7 = 11 months

c) You have spent 10 months in 2005 in Sweden and 5 months in 2010 in France à you are eligible since the months spent in 2005 do not fall under the last 5 years and will not be counted.
