5 Agenda International Credit Mobility(ICM) Overview 2016 results What s new in the ICM 2017 Call

6 International Credit Mobility Introduced to the Erasmus+ programme in 2015 UK budget per Call is around 11 million Student and staff mobility between Programme and Partner countries Decentralised action managed by National Agencies located in Programme countries Use of Erasmus Quality Framework

7 Who can apply? At least two participating organisations from different countries- an HEI in a Programme country and a Partner in a Partner country. An HEI from a Programme country can only submit one application form for ICM. However, they can also apply for ICM as part of a consortium, in which case it is their responsibility to prevent double funding of the same mobility should the two channels be used simultaneously.

8 Erasmus+ Quality Framework Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) for Partner countries, the principles of the Charter are embedded in the Partner Inter-Institutional Agreement. Partner Inter-Institutional Agreements to set mobility flows and preconditions to be signed before mobility begins. The European Commission (EC) has produced separate KA107 grant agreements for teaching and study placements but the Learning and Mobility Agreements for students and staff are the same as KA103.

9 Programme and Partner Countries Programme Countries EU Member States: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom Other programme countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey Partner Countries All other countries throughout the world Except: Region 5: Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City State, Switzerland; Region 12: Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates

10 Mobility projects (lasting 16 or 26 months) include the following activities: Student mobility Staff mobility Studies Traineeships not available until 2018 Duration: 3-12 months (minimum duration 3 months) Short cycle, Bachelor, Master, PhD levels all disciplines Teaching periods (Invited staff not available) Training periods (excluding conferences) Duration: 5 days - 2 months (minimum duration 5 days) minimum of 8 teaching hours all disciplines

11 Why should institutions apply? Brings the outside world into an institution from incoming students and staff Provides an expanded international offering Raises awareness of an institution with international students Offers funding to support staff mobility/professional development to establish strong connections with new institutions for future courses and partnerships Acts as a soft trial for partners and international mobility beyond Erasmus+

12 The Application Process Unlike KA103, mobility projects between Programme and Partner countries undergo qualitative evaluation: Application for funding made by programme country institutions, for both inward and outward flows. Possibility to apply for more than one region (in one application only). Cooperation with each country will be assessed separately.

13 Award Criteria The applicant will explain how the project meets these four award criteria from the point of view of its own institution and the Partner countries' institutions: To be considered for funding, proposals must score at least 60 points in total, with a minimum of 15 points for "relevance of the strategy".

47 Experience of putting together an application Bid in Round for range of countries but were only successful with China and staff mobility. Good scores but bid for popular countries, so did not receive funding. Bid Round for limited range and were successful in Egypt. Bid Round for follow-up to China and very targeted Australian project and were only successful in China. Did not bid Round , having realised the amount of work involved in what we already had.

48 Experience of putting together an application Worked with Associate Deans (International) - ADIs to determine countries with whom we wished to work. Bid written by Head Europe & International Mobility. Proof-read by ADIs. Targeted countries where we already had some activity. Did not bid for student mobility except where we knew we would have outward mobility. Concentrated on teaching staff and training for other countries.

49 Staff Mobility from Partner Countries Partners initially contacted by Bilateral Agreements were set up, although not required for staff training Followed by skype sessions with those who needed clarification The selection criteria was explained The common subject areas were highlighted The submission of forms explained Details of the Erasmus+ grant and booking process provided

50 Day to Day Management Realistic mobility dates are agreed with the participant, based on the timeframe of their visa application process Visa invitation letters sent in the first instance Followed by Mobility Agreement and Grant Agreement forms Grant information including details of how and when flights/accommodation will be booked Information on how much and how to claim back expenses provided after flights and accommodation costs are known Ideally best to wait until visa has been granted to book flights but last minute expensive For China, flights need to be booked before they apply for visa, hence we advise that in the event that a visa is not obtained in time, the rebooking of flights will be their cost Compile a programme for the participant Expenses

51 Staff Mobility to Partner Countries Associate Dean (International) in the Faculties are involved in the selection process Visa application process simpler in the UK Mobility Agreement and Grant Agreement forms are sent in the first instance Grant information provided early on Surrey staff book own travel and accommodation, I guide them through the process Surrey staff book flights after obtaining a visa

52 Reporting A spreadsheet to show each participant s allocation of activity days and travel days Mobility Tool updated asap Record all spend in a file so there is a running total of the expenditure

53 Challenges Some participants suggest dates not feasible due to the visa timescale Reminders from me to apply for a visa asap Not obtaining a visa in time can have implications, financial and also in having to commit additional time to reschedule the programme Be sure to know the number of days allocated to each staff since dates can change and it is easy to lose track Ensuring the correct number of nights accommodation is booked Having to advise Surrey staff that a visit needs to be postponed and rescheduled after they have committed their time 5 days long for a training visit

54 What has helped me to manage ICM Skype sessions with Partner Universities Having a spreadsheet detailing the number of activity days, weekend and travel days Up-to-date data on the Mobility Tool A file for each staff where I record the expenditure as and when incurred
