Selection Criteria:
You may check this link in order to learn more about the application criteria used in the Erasmus+ KA103 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 have not submitted the official acceptance letter from the institution they are planning to attend during the application (for example, participants who have submitted a valid pre-admission e-mail) must obtain a signed and sealed invitation letter from the relevant institution until February 10, 2023. Otherwise, it will be assumed that you have withdrawn from the mobility.
Participants who would like to withdraw from the program should inform ICO until 10.02.2023. For those participants who inform ICO after the deadline, there will be 10 point deduction for their future application’s overall score.
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: 31.05.2023

Daily Grant Amounts
Travel Amount by Distance
The travel amount is calculated by using the below “Distance Calculator”:
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 resident and the place of activity. The amount of kilometer calculated by the distance calculator corresponds to the round-trip and the amount does not multiply by two.
