1. Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching (Maximum number of candidates to be selected: 25)

1. This sub-action enables staff who are required to teach at a higher education institution holding an ECHE (Erasmus University Charter) to teach at an ECHE holder higher education institution in another European country, provided that they teach at least 8 hours. An Erasmus+ Bilateral Agreement must be in place between the two departments for the mobility to take place.
2. In staff mobility for teaching, if the teaching programme and/or certificate of participation does not clearly show that the beneficiary taught at least 8 hours, the activity will be considered invalid and no grant payment will be made to the beneficiary.
3. Under the 2019 and 2020 KA103 projects, mobilities planned must be completed by no later than 31 May 2022.
4. Academic staff who officially teach (faculty members, lecturers, instructors) can benefit from Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching. Teaching staff who do not have a teaching obligation cannot benefit from this activity.
5. Staff mobility duration - excluding travel days - is at least 2 days and at most 6 weeks. However, depending on the number of applications and considering the grant allocated to our University, the number of staff benefiting from mobility will be determined by the authorised commission.
6. Important Note: For our academic staff who will participate in teaching activities of 2 weeks or more, additional grant may be allocated by our institution upon official assignment as a result of the application evaluation, therefore the content of invitations and work plans must be prepared carefully. (Only valid for Erasmus+ Programme Countries in Europe)
7. If the activity lasts longer than 1 week, the mandatory teaching hours must increase in proportion to the duration (e.g., since 8 hours of teaching is mandatory for a 1-week activity, at least 16 hours of teaching is mandatory for a 2-week activity).
8. Important Note: In staff mobility for teaching, if the certificate of participation shows that the beneficiary carried out the activity for less than 2 days and/or taught fewer hours than required, the activity will be considered invalid, no grant payment will be made to the beneficiary, and if payment has been made, a reimbursement notice will be issued (excluding travel days, there is an obligation of at least 2 days, at most 5 days, and a total of 8 hours of teaching).

1. Training mobility can be carried out at ECHE holder higher education institutions with which the university has an Erasmus+ Bilateral Agreement, or at universities and/or enterprises found by the staff wishing to benefit from the activity through their own connections. Applications made within the quotas offered by existing bilateral agreements and applications made for training at enterprises found by the staff wishing to benefit from the activity are subject to the same evaluation process.
2. For mobility for training, it is not required to have an agreement between the host institution and our university.
3. In Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training, priority is given to research assistants as academics and to administrative staff.
4. IMPORTANT NOTE: To be eligible for a grant after training mobility, one must receive training for at least 2 days at the host institution. The maximum number of days for which a grant will be given is limited to 5 mobility days. Travel days must be planned outside the days spent at the host institution. Staff may benefit from the activity without a grant if they wish.
5. This action allows any staff employed at an ECHE holder higher education institution or enterprise to receive training in one of the EU member states for a period of at least 2 days and at most 6 weeks, excluding travel days.

 
Note: * The above grants will apply to selected staff from the 2019 contract period onwards.
In addition to these payments, the distance calculator of the European Commission, the body responsible for implementing the European Union's Erasmus+ programme, will be used to calculate travel distance. The calculator can be accessed via the following link:
http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm
Participants will receive the following support to cover travel costs:

1. Travel Distances	Amount (€)
   Between 10-99 km	20

2. The daily/weekly grant provided to staff benefiting from staff mobility covers expenses such as accommodation, meals, communication costs, local travel expenses, in-city travel expenses, home insurance costs. No separate payment is made for these expenses. Travel must be undertaken using economical travel alternatives; otherwise, the expense will not be considered an eligible travel cost.
3. The maximum daily/weekly grant amount payable to a beneficiary staff member is the amount calculated for the total of the days on which joint academic/educational activities were carried out with the host institution as shown in the staff work plan, plus the travel days.
4. For a daily grant payment to be made to a staff member benefiting from staff mobility, the staff member must have carried out joint academic/educational activities with the host institution as close as possible to a full day on the day in question, and this information must be documented with a work plan or certificate of participation signed by both parties.
5. A grant payment may be made for travel days (provided that they are supported by travel documents and do not exceed 1.5 days in total, 1 for outward and 0.5 for return journey).
6. No grant payment will be made for days on which no activity takes place or joint academic/educational activities with the host institution cannot be documented.
7. In order to disseminate Higher Education Institution staff mobility (so that more staff can benefit from the programme), the Institution may decide not to pay the accrued amount for the staff member's travel days. If such a decision is taken, it will be announced to the entire target group and applied equally to all staff.
8. Payment is made after the original documents (boarding pass, passport entry/exit certificate, visa fee payment documents, etc.) are submitted to our unit at the end of the activity.
9. Important Note: Mandatory PCR test fees
10. 1. PCR tests must be mandatory and the costs must be documented.
11. 2. Costs can be covered if required mandatorily in the sending country, the host country, or both.

If such a decision is taken, it will be announced to the entire target group and applied equally to all staff.
13. The grant for the staff member carrying out the mobility is paid in 2 instalments. The first instalment is paid as 80% of the grant before the mobility begins. The second instalment (20%) is paid after the staff member returns and submits the "Certificate of Participation" and "Activity Report".
14. Staff may also benefit from staff mobility activity without a grant if they wish. In this case, staff without a grant will go through the same application and selection process as grant recipients and will be obliged to submit the same documents.
