Erasmus+ Staff training mobility
Erasmus+ supports training periods at higher education institutions (HEIs) abroad.
Who can participate: employee (academic or non-academic staff) of VSE. Mobility in the country of origin is not possible.
Where: Training opportunities are available to staff member at a foreign institution in Erasmus+ Programme Countries. Receiving institution has to be foreigner university or any public or private organization active in the labor market or in the field of education.
Objectives: The main objective of the training mobility is to support the professional development of both academic and non-academic staff of the university and to acquire knowledge or specific know-how from experience and examples of good practice available abroad. A recognized activity has to be in the form of practical/professional training, job-shadowing, study visit, workshop or seminar. It is not possible to attend conferences!
Duration: A training period must last a minimum of 2 days (usual length of training mobility of VSE staff is 5 – 7 days).
The Erasmus+ grant is calculated according to Erasmus+ conditions. Financial support is allocated for the days when training takes place and the amount of the grant per day depends on the placement country.
In addition to that travel days (1 day before activity abroad and 1 day after activity abroad) can be added to the duration of the mobility period and included in the calculation for individual support. Erasmus+ travel support is set according to the distance from Praha (or Jindřichův Hradec in case of Faculty of Management) to the target city according to the calculator on the European Commission website.
