Staff Mobility for Teaching (STA)
Within the current edition of the Erasmus+ Programme academic teachers exchanges can only be made with institutions that have an ECHE (Erasmus Charter for Higher Education) valid for a given academic year and with which inter-institutional agreements encompassing exchange of academic teachers have been signed.
The offer for academicians includes:
- Mobilities for teaching of students at an international partner institution
- Mobilities for training.
Mobilities for teaching and mobilities for training within the KA 131-HED Erasmus+ Programme Action can last between 2 and 5 days (stay at the partner institution, excluding travel days). In the case of mobilities for teaching, the academic teacher is obliged to hold at least 8 hours of classes, regardless of the length of stay.
An employee travelling within the Erasmus+ Programme receives individual financial support paid by a financial agreement signed between him/her and Wrocław University of Science and Technology. The amount of the grant paid from the Programme is calculated based on the real number of days of stay at the receiving institution.
Within this Action, costs of travel are calculated according to rates determined by the European Commission, based on the distance calculator.
