Besides, before calculating the 50% of the CGPA, a coefficient is applied on the CGPA according to the applicants' department and semester information as below:

Student CGPA: 3.15

*the convergent factor to calculate 50% of the CGPA = 25

•  15 points will be added to the overall score of the students who are  the childrens of martyries and veterans. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.
• 10 points will be added to the overall score of students with disabilities. The proving documents must be submitted to the online application system during the application period.

The duration of the activity is between 2 and 12 months, valid separately for each degree level. The traineeship period cannot be less than 2 months (60 days). 

Since 2014/15 academic year, students can participate in the Erasmus program more than once. The same student may receive grants for mobility periods totaling up to 12 months per each cycle of study (UG, MS, PhD), independently from the number and type of mobility activities. This means the duration of Erasmus grants for Erasmus traineeship mobility and Erasmus student mobility and in a specific cycle of study for a student can be maximum 12 months.

However, in order to provide mobility opportunity for higher number of students and because of the budget limitations, the maximum duration of granted period is limited with 3 months. The Erasmus trainees selected for this period will be able to receive Erasmus grant for a 3 months-period.

Seçilen adayların bir sonraki Erasmus+ personel hareketliliği başvurularında (Avrupa içi veya Avrupa dışı ülkelerle) puan kesintisi uygulanacaktır. Puan kesintisi uygulaması için adayların bu başvuru dönemi kapsamında seçilmiş olmaları (hareketlilik faaliyetlerini henüz gerçekleştirmeseler dahi) yeterli olacaktır.

Asil adaylardan çekilen olması durumunda açılan kontenjan, yedek listedeki adaylara puan sırası baz alınarak kullandırılacaktır ve ilgili katılımcıyla Uluslararası İşbirliği Ofisi tarafından bilgi sağlanacaktır.  

2.0. Seçim Kriterleri

3.0. Seçilen Personelin İzlemesi Gereken Süreç

Başvuru sırasında gidilmesi planlanan kurumdan alınan resmi kabul mektubunu teslim etmemiş olan katılımcıların 28 Aralık 2018 tarihine kadar ilgili kurumdan imzalı ve mühürlü davet mektubunu edinmeleri ve akkol@metu.edu.tr adresine göndermeleri gerekmektedir.

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

Eğitim alma faaliyetinin 15 Mayıs 2019 tarihine kadar gerçekleşmesi gerekmektedir. Yararlanıcıların 15 Mayıs 2019 tarihinden sonra faaliyete katılmaları mümkün değildir.

5.0. 2018-2019 Akademik Yılı Erasmus+ Personel Eğitim Alma Hareketliliğinde Kullanılacak Belgeler

Hareketlilik Öncesinde

• Karşı kurumdan alınmış resmi davet/kabul mektubunun UİO’ya teslim edilmesi
• Erasmus+ HE Staff Mobility agreement – training formunun doldurulması ve gerekli kurumlardan imza alınarak UİO’ya teslim edilmesi (katılımcıların eğitim alma faaliyetine ilişkin programlarını ilgili formun “activities to be carried out” kısmına, programın her gününe bir eğitim alma faaliyeti olacak şekilde detaylıca eklemeleri gerekmektedir; Erasmus+ kurum koordinatörü imzası UİO danışmanı tarafından alınacaktır)
• ODTÜ Vakıfbank şubesinde açılmış Euro hesabı bilgilerinin UİO’ya iletilmesi ve
• Erasmus+ Personel Hareketliliği Hibe Sözleşmesinin UİO danışmanı ile birlikte doldurulması gerekmektedir.

Hareketlilik Sonrasında

• Karşı kurum tarafından onaylanmış katılım sertifikasının orjinali ile
• Uçak bileti ve/veya biniş kartlarının UİO’ya teslim edilmesi ve
• UİO tarafından iletilecek olan çevrimiçi AB anketinin doldurularak UİO’ya bilgi verilmesi gerekmektedir.  

6.0. Erasmus+ Hibeler

6. 1. Erasmus+ Günlük Hibe Miktarları

Erasmus+ KA107 Personel Eğitim Alma faaliyetinden yararlanacak personele verilecek olan gündelik hibe miktarı tüm ülkeler için günlük 160 Avro’dur. 14 günü aşan hareketliliklerde günlük hibe miktarı 112 Avro olmaktadır. Programdan hibesiz olarak yararlanmak da mümkündür.

(Seyahat günleri hariç) hafta sonu günleri için hibe ödemesi yapılmaz. Toplam seyahat süresinin 2 günü aştığı durumlarda aşan günler için hibe ödenmemektedir (seyahat günleri için maksimum 2 günlük ödenir).

6.2. Mesafeye Göre Seyahat Desteği Tutarı

Personel hareketliliği faaliyetinden faydalanan personeline ödenecek seyahat gideri miktarı “Mesafe Hesaplayıcı” kullanılarak hesap edilmektedir.

Seyahat desteği çift yönlü bilet ücretinden bağımsız olarak verilmektedir. Gidiş-dönüş bilet ücreti toplam seyahat desteğinden fazla olursa ek seyahat desteği verilmeyecek, az olursa kalan meblağ geri istenmeyecektir.

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.

6.3. Örnek Hibe Hesaplaması

Örneğin Ukrayna’da gerçekleşecek 5 günlük eğitim alma faaliyeti için aşağıdaki şekilde hibe hesaplaması yapılır:

160*5 (hareketlilik günleri) + 160*2 (seyahat günleri) + 275 (seyahat desteği) = 1395 €.

7.0.  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.

8.0. Seçim Sonuçlarına İtiraz Süresi

Yukarıda belirtilen kriterlere göre yapılmış seçim sonuçlarına itirazı olan personelin ilan tarihinden itibaren 1 hafta içerisinde Uluslararası İşbirliği Ofisi’ne yazılı olarak başvuru yaparak itirazını dile getirmesi gerekmektedir. Yapılacak itirazlar Üniversite Değişim Programları Komisyonu tarafından değerlendirilecektir.

7.0. Erasmus+ Grants:

7.1. Daily Grant Amounts

For the mobility period, the grant per day is 160 € for all countries. For the mobility period exceeding 14 days, the grant per day is 112€.

7.2. Travel Grant by Distance

In addition to the daily grants, the travel grant 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

For example, if you visit Israel for 5 working days, the total grant is calculated as follows:

• Daily Grant: 160*5 (mobility days) + 160*2 (travel days) = 1120 €
• Travel Grant: 275 €
• Total Grant: 1395 € 

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. 

If you have any questions about the Program, you can contact METU  International Cooperations Office (ICO): Mrs. Burcu Akpınar (Overseas Mobility Coordinator); akkol@metu.edu.tr; 210 7180
