The university disburses scholarships according to the availability of the budget, project conditions, and project timelines.

A person with fewer opportunities is a potential participant whose personal physical, mental, or health-related condition would make their participation in the mobility project/action impossible without additional financial or other support. Higher education institutions that select students or staff with fewer opportunities may apply to the national agency for additional funding to cover the additional costs associated with the participation of such individuals in mobility activities. As a result, for participants with fewer opportunities, particularly those suffering from physical, mental, and health-related conditions, the funding may be higher than the maximum amount of individual support specified below. Additional funding for students and staff with fewer opportunities may also come from other sources at the local, regional, or national level. Accompanying persons of students and staff with fewer opportunities are eligible to receive funding based on actual costs.

 

Students and Recent Graduates with Fewer Opportunities – Supplementary Grant for Individual Support

Students and recent graduates with fewer opportunities receive a supplementary grant for individual support under the EU funding from the Erasmus+ program, amounting to 250 EUR per month. The criteria to be applied are determined at the national level by the national agencies in agreement with national authorities.

Students and Recent Graduates on Internships – Supplementary Grant for Individual Support

Students and recent graduates participating in internships will receive additional supplementary grants for individual support under the EU funding from the Erasmus+ program, amounting to 150 EUR per month. Students and recent graduates with fewer opportunities undertaking internships are eligible to receive the supplementary grant for students and recent graduates with fewer opportunities, as well as the supplementary grant for the internship.

Students and Recent Graduates with Fewer Opportunities – Supplementary Allowance for Short-Term Physical Mobility Support

Students and recent graduates with fewer opportunities receive a supplementary allowance for individual support under EU funding from the Erasmus+ program, amounting to 100 EUR for a physical mobility period lasting 5–14 days and 150 EUR for a period lasting 15–30 days.

Kozminski University, founded in 1993, is a private institution of higher education with full academic rights. The university has obtained Polish and international accreditations, as well as excellent results in global and national educational rankings which shows the high quality of its programs and services. Due to these qualities KU diplomas themselves have become coveted. The university’s offer includes various bachelor, master’s, MBA’s as well as Ph.D. programs. All of these are also offered in English. Kozminski University perceives internationalization as an integral part of innovative business education and one of the core vehicles for KU development.

The aspect of “more-than-domestic” approach is also expressed by Kozminski University Mission. Our mission is to provide excellent education in the fields of business, management and business law, combining nationally and internationally recognized research, practice and academia in the heart of Europe. Our mission is being realized through five strategic programs developed in the recent process of strategic planning. These programs are: (a) academic standing, (b) brand name recognition in Europe, (c) internationalization, (d) student satisfaction and (e) corporate relations. These broad long-term strategic directions are then translated into medium term objectives and action items, which are then monitored and measured by the University’s authorities.

In the years to come, KU will face challenges resulting from negative demographic trends that are bringing about a lower number of high school graduates, and are resulting in greater competition between institutions of higher education. As the Polish market becomes more integrated

with the world economy, the resulting contest involves both Polish and foreign EU and non EU players. 

Constantly Kozminski University develops the partnerships with  universities and accredited Business Schools all over the world. Through the first ten years from the beginning of mobility program the main area of developing partnerships was Europe. Now Kozminski University focuses also on North and South America , Asia, Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. The wide range of agreement with Higher Education Institutions were signed in the past 2 years in above-mentioned geographical areas.  The mobility is successfully realized within the partnership with HEI’s in this regions. The strategy of our University for years 2014-2020 includes the development of mobility program within EU and not EU countries. Internationalization, and especially actions related to the Erasmus program, are and always will be an important part of Kozminski University development strategy. Our mission in the field of international student exchange is allowing our students to compete on the international market, respond to the requirements of globalization and facilitate the creation of a platform to exchange ideas and experiences between the East and the West. Our priority was always to facilitate intercultural dialogue, student and faculty mobility and create modern educational program in accordance with market needs.

The goals we have set out in the context of Erasmus + Program are as follows:

• Mobility development

• Improvement of organization of our international actions

 • Enforcing cooperation with some international partners, which will lead to offering joint programs and research and offering double diplomas.

• Further support for international faculty exchange

 • Broadening and developing cooperation with renown academic institutions in the world

• Improving the university’s infrastructure to provide infrastructure for handicapped persons

• Versatile approach to the internationalization for the university in order to promote tolerance for different races, religions and origins

 • Increasing the presence of Kozminski University in different networks and joint projects all over the world

 • Increasing the number of students of non-business programs taking part in exchange program

 • Further development of the „English Tracks” in order to provide more programs in English and increase the attractiveness of courses and awareness of Kozminski University on an international market

Internationalization of all Kozminski University’s dimensions is important to the long-term sustainability of the University’s unique position both at national and international levels. 

Our desire is to remain the leading private EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA accredited University in Eastern and Central Europe as well as world known polish business school. Noting that, however, we are acutely aware of the challenges that lie ahead.

These include:

• Expanding the network of joint programmes and agreements of accredited universities

• Attracting highly qualified international faculty 

• The balance between incoming and outgoing exchange students 

• Recruitment of foreign students that have a negative, stereotyped image of Poland.

• Integration of foreign faculty in the life of the University

In the Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps programs, the European Commission is the Data Controller for personal data. The Commission, as the Data Controller, entrusts the processing of this data to the Polish National Agency. At that point, the National Agency becomes a so-called Data Processor. Subsequently, the National Agency for Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps Programs in Poland, which is the Foundation for the Development of Education (FRSE), signs grant agreements with beneficiaries, entrusting them with the processing of personal data of project participants and employees of the beneficiary organizations involved in the project. Beneficiaries, therefore, process personal data on behalf of the European Commission, through a funding agreement they sign with FRSE. ALK processes personal data under Erasmus+ agreements in accordance with applicable EU, international, and national data protection laws (in particular, Regulation 2018/17252). ALK processes personal data lawfully, fairly, and transparently concerning the individuals to whom it pertains. ALK collects personal data for specific, clear, and legally justified purposes, and they are not further processed in a manner inconsistent with those purposes. The data is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The data is accurate and, if necessary, updated, stored in a format that allows for the identification of the individuals to whom the data relates, and for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. The data is processed in a manner that ensures appropriate data security. More information on the security of personal data processing within Erasmus+ projects can be found here.

The aim of the Erasmus+ program is to support the educational, professional and personal development of participating students and graduates. It also seeks to promote equal opportunity and access, inclusion, diversity and equity in all its activities.

The program contributes to achieving EU goals related to digital transformation, sustainable development and active citizenship.

The Erasmus Student Charter reflects the above values ​​and priorities, aiming to adequately inform participants about their rights and responsibilities and ensure the successful implementation of their mobility.
