Hungarian students can apply for Erasmus scholarships for autumn semester!

University students in Hungary will be able to apply for Erasmus scholarships in the autumn semester in the same way as before, Tibor Navracsics, the minister of regional development, said in Brussels on Wednesday, after meeting EU commissioners Elisa Ferreira, Johannes Hahn and Mariya Gabriel.

Navracsics told Hungarian journalists that he had asked the European Commission to send a letter to the Tempus Public Foundation, which coordinates international mobility applications, reassuring university students and the authorities of EU member states that participation in the Eurasmus+ programme would go ahead.

An agreement can be reached on this issue by the summer, he said, adding that financing of the Horizon Europe and Eurasmus+ programmes would continue even after 2024.

Navracsics said that a letter of clarification had already been received from the EC explaining to the consortium partners and Hungarian universities that applications and participation in the Horizon Europe programme could continue uninterrupted. “If no agreement is reached, that would only cause a problem in the future,” he said.
