Erasmus+ Key Action KA131 - Erasmus+ programme generation 2021-2027

Spend a week looking over the shoulders of the press officer at the Universidad de Vigo? Exchange ideas with librarians from all over Europe at a Staff Training Week in Helsinki? Brush up on your English at a language school in Limerick?

Erasmus+ supports further education and training programmes in other European countries (Erasmus+ area) for academic and non-academic staff in a variety of ways:

• Eligible persons and conditions of participation: Persons who are in a contractual employment relationship with UPB. A teaching assignment or fee contract is not sufficient.
• Possible duration of the training and further education programme: 2 to 6 days (excluding travel to and from the event) (if the funding takes place as part of a BIP: 5 to 6 days)

• The allocation principle is "first come, first served"
• Erasmus+ funding is limited. In general, the application deadline is at least 6 weeks before the start of the mobility programme. However, for better planning of Erasmus+ funding, we ask that you apply early.
• Full funding (per diems) for up to 6 days of stay (teaching days at the host organisation) and
  • 0-2 travel days for arrival/departure by flight, boat, car
  • 0-6 travel days for arrival/departure by sustainable means of transport (green travel): Train, bus, car-sharing and other sustainable means of transport. Example: If the host organisation is so far away that you have to travel 2 days by bus, you can apply for 4 additional travel days for the outward and return journey.
• Costs incurred: Erasmus+ pays out lump sums that include all the costs you incur (travel costs, accommodation costs, participation fees, etc.). If the costs incurred exceed the Erasmus+ funding, you must cover the costs yourself or charge them to another accounting object, which you must indicate in the business trip application. If the Erasmus+ funding exceeds the costs incurred, you must declare the gain as a non-cash benefit in your tax return.
