Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility

The main task of Erasmus+ Teaching mobility is to give lectures at a foreign partner university with which the faculty or department has an Erasmus+ agreement in the specific field of study, which provides for a mutual exchange of lecturers. In addition to lecturing, the lecturer may give consultations, as well as participate in various events related to current events in the field of studies.

According to the Erasmus+ rules, the minimum number of lecture hours for a teaching mobility at a partner university is 8 hours (4 lectures); for a combined mobility - 4 hours (2 lectures) 

The minimum period of visit of a participant in a teaching mobility to a foreign partner university for which an Erasmus+ grant may be calculated may be two days (excluding travel days). The maximum Erasmus+ grant that can be awarded by the University is five days (including travel days).

Applications for Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility and approval of the shortlists take place at the faculties every academic year. The application procedure is organised by the Coordinators of International Affairs of the faculties. The approved list of Erasmus+ faculty mobility participants is sent to the Mobility Division of the Department of International Cooperation of the University, which assists lecturers in completing the necessary formalities.

For the purpose of the visit, the nominated mobility participant receives an Erasmus+ grant, which covers the costs of travel (by the EC distance calculator rate) and living costs abroad. The grant is paid one month before the start of the mobility, provided that all formalities are completed in time.
