Erasmus+ Staff Training Mobility Application


Project ID: 2019-1-TR01-KA103-062364
Application Period:
 4 - 20 December 2020
Application Form:  Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Application Form  (will be accessible on December 4th)

The Erasmus+ program offers full/part-time academic and non-academic staff the opportunity to undertake a short training visit to a higher education institution or some other eligible enterprise/organization in Europe, with funding available for travel costs and subsistence. This activity supports the professional development of HEI staff in the form of training events abroad (excluding conferences) and job shadowing/observation periods at a partner HEI, or at another relevant organization i.e. an enterprise, workshop, or short-term assignments. In line with the Covid-19 measurements, it is possible to benefit from the program remotely/virtually. Please be informed that no grant payment will be made for online activities as there will be no travel and accommodation expenses.

OzU has been allocated limited funding from the Turkish National Agency that allows funding for approximately 6 participants for 3 days (including the travel days). The amount depends on the country and training period. The application is open to all administrative units, however, the application must include an invitation letter sent by the host institution which must be signed by the applicant’s supervisor. Please kindly note that the mobility activity must be completed by the end of April 2022.

Erasmus+ grants:

EU grants provide a contribution to your costs for travel and subsistence during your time abroad and vary depending on:

  • The receiving country
  • In the case of mobility within program countries, the level of demand from staff from your country who intend to teach abroad
  • The distance between your country and the receiving country

Daily grants and travel support tables can be found by following this link.

Staff with special needs can apply for additional grants. According to the Turkish National Agency, a special needs person is defined as someone whose individual, physical, mental, or health-related conditions are such that his/her participation in Erasmus+ would not be possible without any extra financial support. Should you need further information, please contact the International Office (international.relations@ozyegin.edu.tr )

Please note that due to the coronavirus pandemic, remote activities are not eligible for financial support

If you do not wish to receive Erasmus+ grant, you may still participate in the Erasmus+ staff teaching mobility as a “zero-grant” participant.

In line with the Erasmus+ implementation guidelines, after the deadline stated above, unused grants will be transferred to other mobility areas to support a larger number of beneficiaries.

How to apply:

  • Please fill out the application form and upload the necessary documents before the deadline.
  • The International Office will inform the eligible applicants after the assessment is completed. The Erasmus Selection Committee will approve the final list of applicants before the allocation of grants to ensure that the priority areas are funded and the application criteria are met.

Please note that staff members can also visit this link for general procedures. Partner institutions may not be able to accept staff teaching requests due to their workload and/or internal procedures. Should you need the contact information of a partner institution, please consult our office.
