Applicants may visit this link in order to learn more about the application criteria used in the Erasmus+ KA107 (Non-European Countries) Staff Mobility for Teaching Assignments.
As specified in the application announcements, country quotas indicated in the same region were used for other countries of the region as well. Moreover, as mentioned in the previous announcement, depending on the budget left from other sort of mobility types and withdrawals, total budget available for this call increased.
Please bear in mind that there will be reduction in the overall point of the granted participants for their next Erasmus applications (with European or non-European countries). If the participants do not conduct their mobility yet, the reduction will be still applied because of being selected and granted in this call.
3.0. Required Procedures for Awarded Applications:
Applicants who submitted an invitation e-mail rather than the official invitation letter during the application period should obtain and send the official invitation letter (signed and stamped) to akkol@metu.edu.tr until 30 December 2022.
4.0. Withdrawal:
Participants who would like to withdraw from the program need to inform ICO until 30 December 2022. We would like to remind you that participants who inform ICO after the deadline will need to be subjected to 10-point deduction during the next application calls.
5.0. Duration of the Activities:
According to KA107 program rules, duration of teaching mobility must be minimum 5 working days excluding travel time.
The teaching activity has to comprise a minimum of 8 hours for every 5 working days. For activities that will last more than 5 days, the minimum teaching hour must be calculated in proportion to the minimum requirement (e.g., 16 hours for 10 working days, 24 hours for 15 working days). If the teaching activity/teaching hours last less than the minimum requirements, the activity is considered as void by the funding body and the grant payment will not be made for the related activity.
The activity must take place until 31 July 2023. It is not possible for the beneficiaries to conduct their mobility after 31 July 2023.

7.0. Erasmus+ Grants:
7.1. Daily Grant Amounts
Daily Grant: 180 € for all countries (for mobility periods exceeding 14 days, daily grant is 126 €)
Daily grant is allowed for teaching days and travel days up to 2 days.
Even if the travel days exceed 2 days, it is not possible for beneficiaries to receive daily grants for more than 2 days of travel. In order to provide Erasmus+ funding for the travel days, the travel should take place outside of the teaching days.
7.2. Travel Grant by Distance
In addition to daily grants, participants will receive a travel support as well. The travel support is a fixed amount, independent of the price of plane tickets. The travel amount is calculated by using the “Distance Calculator” below:
http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm
The distance calculator is used to determine the distance between the location where the staff is residing and the place of activity. The kilometers in distance calculated by the distance calculator corresponds to the round-trip and the amount does not get multiplied by two.

7.3. A Sample of Grant Calculation
A visit to Albania for 1 week (5 days of teaching & 2 days of travel):
Total grant = 180*5 (mobility days) + 180*2 (travel days) + 275 (travel support) = 1535 €.
Participants receive 70% of the total financial support at the beginning of their mobility period and the remaining 30% when the teaching programme is over.
8.0. Additional Grant for Disabled Participants:
For disabled participants, it is possible to receive additional grants to meet their specific needs. In order for the disabled staff to be given additional grants, METU ICO is required to request additional grants from the Turkish National Agency. The applications for additional grants should be made during the term of the contract, but in any case up to 60 days before the contract end date. The Turkish National Agency will evaluate each application specifically and determine whether the additional grant can be granted, and if so, the appropriate grant amount. In order to learn more about the application forms, you may contact METU ICO.
9.0. Objection to Selection Results:
Academic staff who would like to object to the selection results can apply to ICO with a written petition within one week from the date of the announcement. The written applications will be evaluated by the University Exchange Programs Commission.
