The Erasmus+ KA171 program offers teaching and administrative staff from an Extra-EU university that has signed an Erasmus+ Inter Institutional Agreement (IIA) (Partner University) with the University of Messina the opportunity to undertake a teaching and/or training mobility period.
The duration of the mobility at UNIME cannot be less than 5 days and can be up to a maximum of 2 consecutive months, plus 2 days of travel.
There are 3 types of mobility:
- staff mobility for teaching
- staff mobility for teaching and training (combined mobility)
- staff mobility for training
The first 2 mobilities can be carried out by professors and researchers employed at the Partner University both at the time of application and during the mobility period.
Staff mobilities for training can be carried out both by academics and administrative staff employed at the Partner University both at the time of application and during the mobility period.
Staff mobility for teaching requires a minimum commitment of 8 hours of teaching per week.
Staff mobility for teaching and training requires a minimum commitment of 4 hours of teaching per week.
The activity will be agreed upon a tutor (academic or administrative staff) at the University of Messina, using one of the templates provided by the Erasmus+ Program.
The Erasmus+ scholarship consists of travel contribution and individual support.
1. Individual support of €190/day for mobility periods lasting 5 to 14 days; €133/day from the 15th onwards.
2. The travel contribution, determined by the Distance Calculator developed by the European Commission based on the distance in kilometers between the departure and destination cities, ranges from a minimum of €211.00 to a maximum of €1,735.00 (Travel contribution amounts table). Additional grants are also available for green travel, i.e., travel using sustainable means of transport such as bus, train, bicycle, or carpooling. In addition to the increased travel grant, participants can receive individual support to cover accommodation expenses for up to 6 days of travel.
3. In addition, UNIME reimburses the costs incurred for the purchase of the compulsory health insurance directly linked to the mobility period, for an amount up to €100.00 for stays of up to 14 days and up to €150.00 for stays longer than 14 days.
Applicants must have a working contract at a Partner university that has signed an Interinstitutional Agreement with the University of Messina under the Erasmus+ Program.
Interested staff must apply for admission through the calls for applications published by their respective universities.
