Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training

Prerequisite for the implementation of mobilities for further education and training purposes at a partner university are signed Interinstitutional Agreements - the Erasmus+ contracts. These will usually not have agreed upon mobilities for further education and training purposes, therefore short supplementary agreements have to be concluded after the partner university has given a commitment to support such a mobility. For this purpose, please contact Ms. Kettmann.

However, STT can also be supported at an institution located in another program country that is active in the labor market or in the fields of education, training or youth:

• Public and private small, medium or large enterprises (including public service enterprises)
• Local, regional or national public bodies
• Social partners or other representative of the labor market (including chambers of commerce, craft or trade associations, and trade unions)
• Research institutions
• Foundations
• Schools/institutes/education centers (from pre-school through upper secondary education including institutions to vocational and adult education)
• Non-profit organizations, associations, non-governmental organizations

The aim is to make as many employees as possible "mobile". If there are more applicants than funds available, the applications will be checked against the entries in the "Mobility Agreement" in the PROPOSED MOBILITY PROGRAMS section and decisions will be made on this basis. Priority will be given to applications from technical and administrative staff (centralized and decentralized). We would like to draw the attention of lecturers to the possibility of traveling to partner universities within the framework of the Lecturer Mobility (STA).

With the approval of the International Office, you will receive an overview of the funding provided by the Erasmus+ program.

Because resources are limited and the International Office endeavors to promote as many teaching assignments as possible, it may happen that mixed funding is created. The permit states that you receive both Erasmus + and zero grant funding. This means that only a certain number of days of mobility can be funded.

The authorization, unlike the total period of stay, includes a fixed number of days for which financial support can be granted. The remaining days are known as zero-grant days, which are included in the total funding period but can not be funded. Additional costs that are not covered by the Erasmus + funds can also be met from other sources of funding.

The following documents must be complete for the Erasmus+ Program in order to be eligible for funding:

Grant Agreement

Once you have submitted the signed Mobility Agreement, you will receive the Grant Agreement by e-mail. This must be returned to the International Office for signature prior to commencement of mobility.

Mobility Agreement

With the approval, you will receive the Mobility Agreement, which you fill out and send signed to the host institution (a scanned version is sufficient here). Afterwards you submit the signed Mobilty Agreement by both sites to the International Office no later than 8 weeks before the start of mobility.

Business Travel Application

The business travel application is first submitted by the International Office for Financial Audit (by Martin Müller) and finally approved by the supervisor. This must be available before mobility begins. Anticipate payments (80% of the funding amount) can be applied for in accordance with the regulations of the University of Potsdam earliest 30 days before the start of mobility.

Certificate of Stay

With the Grant Agreement also provides the International Office the Certificate of Stay, which is completed by the partner institution. Please make sure that the given data comply with the Grant Agreement.

EU-Survey (questionnaire)

Upon completion of the mobility, you will receive an invitation by e-mail to complete the EU questionnaire. This replaces the previous report.
