What Are KA121 & KA122 Mobility Programs in Hungary?
Hungary's vibrant capital Budapest and affordable cost of living make it an attractive Erasmus+ destination with diverse placement opportunities. Concrete reasons institutions choose Hungary for KA121 & KA122 Mobility & Internships. KA121 and KA122 are the Erasmus+ actions that fund group mobility for schools, VET providers and adult-education centres. KA121 supports accredited organisations with a multi-year plan; KA122 is the short-term flow for non-accredited senders. Both fund student internships and staff training (including job shadowing). Piktalent acts as the local intermediary in Hungary: we source hosts in business & shared services, it & technology and tourism & hospitality, manage accommodation, run the logistics and provide audit-ready closure for the Beneficiary Module.

Host sourcing
Across Hungary's business & shared services corridor anchored in Budapest, our local desk runs this step end-to-end so the sending school never chases vendors. Companies in business & shared services, it & technology, tourism & hospitality matched to learners' profiles, plus institutional hosts for staff flows.
Group accommodation
Coordinators based in Budapest, Hungary make this concrete for every business & shared services cohort, with named contacts on both sides. Bulk-friendly accommodation (residences, group apartments) near workplaces in Hungary.
Insurance & liability
In Hungary this stage flows through our Budapest regional team covering business & shared services hosts, so timelines stay aligned with the learning agreement. Travel, medical and civil-liability for both learners and staff for the full mobility window.
Operational coordination
Built around Hungary's business & shared services host expectations from Budapest outward and the regional cost band so budgets stay predictable. Airport pickup, induction, weekly attendance, mid-term and final evaluations.
Beneficiary Module closure
Within Hungary's business & shared services network around Budapest, this layer is delivered by the same team that vets hosts and signs the agreements. Mobility tool exports, Europass certificates, host evaluations — audit-ready.
