Buses, train, bicycle, and carpooling (a shared travel by car, belonging to one of the passengers, on the same route and with the same goal) are considered by the Erasmus+ programme to be ecological means of transportation. Travel by any other means of transportation does not meet those criteria.

4. Additionally, the candidate may apply for maximum of 4 additional travel days (return route). Appendix 1 should be filed while applying for a mobility.
5. A number of granted additional travel days depends on the distance between the seat of the University of Szczecin and the seat of the sending HEI according to the on-line calculator available at the website of the European Commission (EC): http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm:
a) 100 – 1999 km – 1 travel day / 1 way
b) 2000 km or more – 2 travel days / 1 way
6. The ‘green travel’ is confirmed by the participant upon arrival to the University of Szczecin by submitting a green travel statement to International Relations Department (Appendix 2) and proof of travel listed in the statement.
7. If the trip is not confirmed in the above-mentioned manner, the participant will be called to return the amount resulting from the green travel entitlements.
