Your Erasmus+ traineeship in Vienna.

A traineeship that counts for your degree
Erasmus+ supports university students who complete a traineeship abroad as part of their studies.
Your home university selects you, pays your Erasmus+ grant and recognises the traineeship in your degree. ACCELERAS is your host organisation: we give you meaningful tasks, a mentor and a team to learn with, and sign your Learning Agreement for Traineeships together with you and your university.
