Erasmus+ Inclusion Support

The Universities Act 2002 refers to “students with disabilities in the meaning of § 3 of the Federal Act on the Equalization of Persons with Disabilities” (§ 3. ”Disability, as defined by this act, is the effect of a non-temporary physical, mental or psychological impairment or a sensory impairment which makes participation in the life of society difficult. Non-temporary means a period which is expected to be more than six months.”).

Inclusion Support 2025:

Inclusion Support for Participants with Fewer Opportunities
Inclusion Support for Organisations

People with fewer opportunities: People who face various barriers relevant to participation.

These barriers function as the practical definition of underrepresented groups in Austria's Erasmus+ context. These barriers can for example include (1) disability-related, (2) health-related, (3) educational, (4) cultural, (5) social, (6) economic, (7) geographical, and (8) discrimination-related obstacles, but these are only examples;   Inclusion Support covers any additional costs a participant incurs because of any barriers compared to a participant who does not face them.
