Each institution (here: UL) applying for Erasmus+ funding receives 350 € OS for every granted participant (irrespective of the length of the mobility period). UL can manage theErasmus+ project only by using the full amount of this supportsince the main workload of programme, the complete scholarship administration, and the overall responsibility for the correct use of the funds lies with UL. A split of OS between UL and its Erasmus+ partners HEIs is not feasible and not foreseen due to capacity restraints considering that UL cooperates with 26 countries and 50 partner HEIs. Furthermore, the OS also serves as a flexible budget to cover insufficient mobility funding, facilitates extensions or financiallysupports management meetings. Partner HEI are asked for their consent that the organisational support remains fully at Leipzig University’s disposal. When the application is handed in consent to this regulation is assumed.
