Politecnico di Torino offers grants as a contribution to traineeships abroad (not remunerated with a salary) at private companies, research centres and training centres with legal head offices or branches located in Erasmus+ Programme countries. Other eligible destinations are the International Relations Offices of higher education institutions, provided that the training activity during the traineeship is clearly specified in the Learning Agreement for Traineeship. Moreover, the activity must not be co-financed by other European programmes, in order to avoid conflicts of interest and/or double funding.  

When you are awarded an Erasmus+ Traineeship grant, you are also entitled to receive the “Erasmus+ status”, which will provide you with several advantages and benefits, such as:

1.  administrative procedures and contacts between the intern and the host institution are facilitated by the Outgoing Mobility Office and the Office of Career Services of Politecnico, following established procedures and preferential channels, thus dispensing you from red tape operations;

 2. your traineeship abroad (when taking place during the academic career) must be previously agreed upon with the Traineeship Coordinator of your degree programme. When you return, Politecnico will recognize your traineeship  and validate the corresponding credits, according to the procedures of each degree programme.    

The Erasmus+ Programme provides the opportunity to do a traineeship during the academic career (Traineeship Undegraduate), as well as after the conferment of the Bachelor’s degree, the Master’s degree and the P.h.D. (Traineeship Postgraduate). The duration of your Erasmus+ Traineeship is up to you: it can last from a minimum of 2 continuous months (60 days) to a maximum of 6 continuous months (180 days). The duration must be specified in your application form.
