The evaluation criteria can be found here.
Required Procedures for Granted Applicants:
A separate e-mail announcement will be sent out for the mobility procedures.
Participants who are selected as Granted Participants (Asil Hibeli) and would like to withdraw from the program should inform ICO until 20.12.2024. For those Granted Participants who inform ICO after the deadline, there will be 10 point deduction for their future application’s overall score.
The participants who are selected as Not Granted (Yedek Hibesiz) will not receive point deduction for their future application’s overall score. If a Granted Participant withdraws from the programme, the first participant in the waiting list will be a Granted Participant and will be notified by ICO. They will have 1 month to notify ICO if they would like to withdraw from the program. Otherwise, there will be 10 point deduction for their future application’s overall score.
10 points will be deducted 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:
https://ico.metu.edu.tr/teaching-mobility-3
If applicants would like to visit a non-partner HEI, they may get in contact with the related institution in order to initiate an Erasmus+ interinstitutional agreement. The Erasmus+ inter-institutional agreement must be finalized before the mobility takes place.
Duration of the Activities
The teaching activity can take place between 2 days and 3 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 3 days (excluding 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.
While calculating the grant, a grant is provided for 2 days of travel in addition to a maximum of 5 days of activity. However, in order for the travel day grant to be paid, the travel day must not be included in the activity period.
The activity must be completed until the next application period, which is 15 September 2025.
It is not possible for the beneficiaries to conduct their mobility afterwards.

Travel Amount by Distance
In addition to daily grants, participants will receive a travel support as well. The travel support is a fixed amount and paid once, 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.

*Green Travel
If the staff choose sustainable means of transport in both directions (e.g. rail, sea transport, car sharing with other Erasmus+ beneficiaries or using buses), the travel grant based on distance is considered as green travel. The grant amount is calculated according to the relevant section of the table. Whether travel can be considered as 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.
Additional Grant for Disabled Participants
In addition to the standard grants received by disabled beneficiaries participating in the Erasmus+ Program, additional grants may be provided to assist with their special needs. In order for additional grants to be provided to disabled students and staff, the beneficiary higher education institution must request an additional grant from the Center.
Additional grant requests can be made during the contract period, but in any case, up to 60 days before the contract end date. The Center evaluates each application individually; it decides whether additional grants can be provided and, if so, the appropriate grant amount. Application forms are published on the Center's website,
Erasmus Staff Mobility without Grant (Zero-Grant)
Staff can participate in the activity without receiving a grant if they have the approval of the institution/unit manager. The difference with non-grant staff is that the staff is not included in the budget calculations and no payment is made to them. Not receiving a grant is not a reason for the staff not to be included in the selection process. In order to benefit from the activity without a grant, an application must be made and the application must be evaluated together with other applications.

The award of an ECHE is a pre-requisite for all higher education institutions located in a Programme country and willing to participate in learning mobility of individuals and/or cooperation for innovation and good practices under Erasmus+.
