You may check this link in order to learn more about the application criteria used in the Erasmus+ KA131 STA applications. 

Based on the evaluation of the METU Personnel Directorate (PDB) and the decision of METU Exchange Programs Selection Committee, those staff “responsible for teaching” were defined as Dr. Faculty Member, Assoc. Dr., Prof. Dr., and Lecturer (excluding those employed under the law no. 7100). Therefore, since those working in an academic department part-time, at their own will and/or invitation of a unit as well as Research Assistants and/or Lecturers (those employed under the law no. 7100) cannot apply to the program since they are not defined as “responsible for teaching”. 

 

Required Procedures for Awarded Applicants:

Participants who would like to withdraw from the program should inform ICO until 08.05.2023.  For those participants who inform ICO after the deadline, there will be 10 point deduction for their future application’s overall score.

The ojections to the results can be made until 20.04.2023 via e-mail to europeanmobility@metu.edu.tr 

10 points will be decreased from the granted participants for their next Erasmus applications (with European countries). Even though the participants do not conduct their mobility yet; 10 points will be decreased because of being selected and granted in this call.

The receiving organisation must be a Programme Country HEI awarded with an ECHE. Before the mobility takes place, both the academic department in METU and partner HEI must sign an interinstitutional agreement. You may visit the below website in order to find the list of current Erasmus+ agreements within the framework of Erasmus+ KA131 STA:

If applicants would like to visit a non-partner HEI, they may talk with the related institution in order to initiate Erasmus+ interinstitutional agreement. The Erasmus+ interinstitutional agreement must be finalized before the mobility takes place.

 

4. Duration of the Activities

The teaching activity can take place between 2 days and 5 days excluding travel time. In order to provide mobility opportunity for higher number of staff, the maximum duration of the mobility period for STA is limited to 5 days (+ 2 days for travel time) by METU Exchange Programs Commission. In all cases, a teaching activity has to comprise a minimum of 8 hours of teaching per week (or any shorter period of stay). If the teaching activity/teaching hours last less than 2 days/8 hours (minimum requirement), the activity is considered as void and the grant payment is not made for the related activity.

*Green Travel

In case the staff member prefers sustainable means of transport in both directions (e.g. using railway, maritime transport, car-pooling with other Erasmus+ programme beneficiaries or using bus), the distance-based travel grant is considered as green travel. The grant amount is calculated according to the relevant part of the table. Whether the staff member can be considered within the scope of green travel is determined by the submission of the relevant travel documents to the International Cooperation Office and the evaluation of the Turkish National Agency.

 

 6. Erasmus Staff Mobility without Grant (Zero-Grant)

It is possible to participate in Erasmus staff mobility programme without grant. Those staff who would like to participate in the programme without grant need to make application and their applications need to be evaluated as the others. Those participants with zero grant have to fulfill rights and obligations of the program.

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, the beneficiary higher education institution 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.
