Go2Grow FAQ
Quick answers about finding professional learning, Erasmus+ mobility, providers, registrations, the Grant Calculator and using the Go2Grow platform.
Important: Go2Grow is an independent platform, not an official Erasmus+ or European Union website. Funding and eligibility must always be confirmed with your sending institution and the current official Erasmus+ Programme Guide.
Using Go2Grow
What is Go2Grow?
Go2Grow is a discovery platform for courses, Staff Weeks and other professional learning opportunities. It brings programme, date, destination, provider and practical mobility information into one place so users can compare options more easily.
Are all opportunities on Go2Grow Erasmus+ funded?
No. Go2Grow includes professional learning that may be suitable for Erasmus+ mobility as well as opportunities that can be attended without Erasmus+ funding. A listing does not itself guarantee Erasmus+ eligibility or reimbursement.
How do I find a course or Staff Week?
Use Find Opportunities to search by keyword, destination and opportunity type. You can also browse the dedicated Courses, Staff Weeks and Destinations pages.
Does Go2Grow organise the courses?
Usually no. Go2Grow is the platform connecting users with independent learning providers. The provider remains responsible for programme content, delivery, availability, pricing, registration conditions and participant communication unless a listing clearly states otherwise.
Erasmus+ mobility
Who can receive Erasmus+ support for staff mobility?
Eligibility depends on the Erasmus+ action, education sector, participating organisation and country. Staff normally participate through an eligible sending organisation rather than applying as private individuals. Use the Erasmus+ Guide and the Go2Grow Eligibility Checker, and confirm the final decision with your Erasmus+ or international office.
Can I apply for Erasmus+ funding directly as an individual?
For the staff and education mobility routes covered by Go2Grow, funding is generally managed through an eligible organisation. Your sending institution decides whether you can participate and how the grant is administered.
Does choosing a course on Go2Grow guarantee funding?
No. Course selection and funding approval are separate. Your institution must confirm eligibility, available budget, internal selection procedures and required documentation before you make financial commitments.
Can I attend a Go2Grow course without Erasmus+ funding?
Yes, where the provider accepts self-funded or institution-funded participants. Go2Grow is a general professional learning platform; Erasmus+ is one possible funding route, not a requirement for every booking.
Grant Calculator
What does the Erasmus+ Grant Calculator estimate?
The calculator provides an indicative estimate of travel support, individual support and relevant top-ups based on the information you enter and the rate assumptions built into the tool.
Is the calculator result an official grant amount?
No. It is a planning estimate only. National Agencies and sending institutions may apply specific rates, limits and eligibility rules. The final grant is determined by your sending organisation.
What distance should I enter?
Use the one-way straight-line distance between the sending location and destination, normally determined with the official Erasmus+ Distance Calculator. Do not enter a return-trip total.
Why can my institution’s amount differ from Go2Grow’s estimate?
The Programme Guide may define ranges or conditions while National Agencies and institutions determine the applicable amount within those rules. Supported travel days, participant category, green travel, destination group and institutional policy can also affect the final figure.
For providers
Who can list opportunities on Go2Grow?
Organisations offering legitimate professional learning, Staff Weeks or related mobility opportunities can create a provider account and submit listings, subject to Go2Grow’s publication and moderation rules.
What information should a provider include?
Participants should be able to understand the programme, learning outcomes, dates, destination, language, format, price, provider identity, registration conditions and any material deadlines before deciding whether to proceed.
Can Go2Grow edit or remove a listing?
Yes. Go2Grow may correct presentation, moderate, unpublish or remove incomplete, misleading, duplicated, outdated or unlawful content in line with the Terms of Use.
Accounts, privacy and support
What personal data does Go2Grow collect?
Depending on how you use the platform, Go2Grow may process account and contact details, provider and listing information, participant enquiries, platform activity, technical/security data and communications. See the Privacy Policy for details.
Does Go2Grow use cookies?
Yes, where needed for platform operation, security, sessions and preferences. Optional analytics or marketing technologies should only be enabled in accordance with applicable consent requirements.
Where can I get help?
Use the Contact Go2Grow page for platform, provider listing, account or privacy questions. For final Erasmus+ funding decisions, contact your sending institution or National Agency.
