Selection Criteria:

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:

https://ico.metu.edu.tr/teaching-mobility-3

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.

The last day for the activity: 31.12.2023

5. Erasmus+ Grants

Daily Grant Amounts

Travel Support Amount by Distance

The amount of travel support to be paid to the personnel benefiting from the personnel mobility activity should be calculated using the "Distance Calculator". The distance calculator is available at the link below:

http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm

*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.

7. Additional grants 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, 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.

 Personel Eğitim Alma Hareketliliği için Asgarî ve Azamî Süreler

Personel eğitim alma hareketliliği için faaliyet süresi, seyahat hariç en az 2 iş günü ve en fazla 5 gün olarak belirlenmiştir. Personel eğitim alma hareketliliğinde, katılım sertifikasında yararlanıcının 2 günden az süre ile faaliyet gerçekleştirdiği durumlarda, faaliyet geçersiz kabul edilir ve yararlanıcıya herhangi bir hibe ödemesi yapılmaz. Hibe hesaplamaları yapılırken maksimum 5 günlük faaliyet süresine ek olarak 2 gün de seyahat gününe hibe sağlanır. Ancak seyahat günü hibesinin sağlanabilmesi için seyahat gününün faaliyet süresine dâhil olmaması gerekmektedir.

Eğitim alma faaliyeti 31 Aralık 2023 tarihlerine kadar gerçekleşmelidir.

Erasmus+ Hibe Miktarları

Gidilen Ülkelere Göre Günlük Hibe Miktarları

Personel hareketliliğinden faydalanacak personele verilecek olan gündelik miktarı gidilen ülke ile birlikte gidilen süreye göre aşağıdaki tabloda belirtilen tutarlar dikkate alınarak hesaplanır. 

Mesafeye Göre Seyahat Desteği Tutarı

Personel hareketliliği faaliyetinden faydalanan personeline ödenecek seyahat gideri miktarı “Mesafe Hesaplayıcı” kullanılarak hesap edilmelidir. Mesafe hesaplayıcısına aşağıdaki bağlantıdan ulaşılabilmektedir:

http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm

Mesafe hesaplayıcısı aracılığı ile personelin yerleşik olduğu yerden, faaliyet yerine kadar olan 2 nokta arasının km değeri tespit edilmeli ve aşağıdaki tablo kullanılarak seyahat hibesi hesaplanmalıdır. Mesafe hesaplayıcıda çıkan kilometrenin aşağıdaki tablodaki hibe karşılığı gidiş-dönüş rakamı olup, söz konusu miktar ikiyle çarpılmaz. Personelin aktarmalı olarak seyahat etmesi, yukarıda belirtilen mesafe hesaplaması ile varılan mesafeyi etkilemez.

*Yeşil Seyahat

Personelin seyahatlerinde çift-yönlü olarak sürdürülebilir ulaşım araçlarını tercih etmesi halinde (örneğin demiryolu, deniz ulaşımı, otobüs kullanımı veya birden fazla Erasmus+ katılımcısının bulunduğu özel araç paylaşımı) mesafeye bağlı verilen seyahat hibesi yeşil seyahat kapsamında değerlendirilir. Hibe tutarı tabloda belirtilen ilgili kısmına göre hesaplanır. Personelin yeşil seyahat kapsamında değerlendirilip değerlendirilemeyeceği, personelin ilgili seyahat belgelerini Uluslararası İş Birlikleri Ofisine teslim etmesi ve Türkiye Ulusal Ajansı’nın değerlendirmesi sonucu belirlenir.

Engelli Yararlanıcılar

Erasmus+ Programına katılan engelli yararlanıcılara aldıkları standart hibelerine ek olarak özel ihtiyaçlarına yardımcı olmak üzere ilave hibe verilebilmektedir. Engelli öğrenci ve personele fazla hibe verilebilmesi için yararlanıcı yükseköğretim kurumu tarafından Merkezden ilave hibe talebinde bulunulması gerekmektedir. İlave hibe talebi sözleşme dönemi içerisinde, ama her hal ve durumda sözleşme bitiş tarihinden 60 gün öncesine kadar yapılabilir. Merkez her bir başvuruyu özel olarak değerlendirir; ilave hibe verilip verilemeyeceğini, verilebilecekse uygun hibe miktarını kararlaştırır. Başvuru formları, Merkezin internet sitesinde, [https://goo.gl/srJwkS] yayımlanmaktadır.

Hibesiz (“0” Hibeli) Personel Olma Durumu

Personel istediği ve kurum/birim yönetici onayı olduğu takdirde hibe almaksızın faaliyete katılabilir. Hibesiz personelin farkı, personelin bütçe hesaplamalarına dâhil edilmemesi ve kendisine hiçbir ödeme yapılmamasıdır. Hibe alınmaması personelin seçim sürecine dâhil olmamasına gerekçe değildir. Faaliyetten hibesiz faydalanılabilmesi için de başvuru yapılması ve başvurunun diğer başvurularla beraber değerlendirmeye tabi tutulması gerekmektedir.
