Terms for Participation in Erasmus Teaching By signing this document, the teaching staff member, the sending institution/enterprise and the receiving institution confirm that they approve the proposed mobility agreement. The sending higher education institution supports the staff mobility as part of its modernisation and internationalisation strategy and will recognise it as a component in any evaluation or assessment of the teaching staff member. The assignment shall take place at a university in one of the 28 member states of the EU or Iceland, Turkey, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Liechtenstein, Norway. The assignment shall take place at a university with which Uppsala University has a valid Erasmus agreement that includes Staff Mobility. The participating teacher shall be an employee of Uppsala University (employees on a contingent/hourly basis are also eligible). The teaching period has to be between 2 days and 60 days. The minimum requirement for a teaching assignment is 8 teaching hours. For longer periods it is 8 hours per week (1,6 hours per day). Participation in lectures and seminars, tutoring of individual students and examinations where the teacher is physically present at the host university may count as teaching. Participation in conferences may not count as teaching unless the teacher is a speaker at the conference. If two or more teachers travel together the minimum teaching requirement will be doubled. There is no limit as to how many Erasmus teaching assignments a teacher may participate in per academic year (provided that there is still funding left). The home (teacher and head of department) and host institution must agree in advance on the programme of the activities to be delivered by the visiting teachers. The activities of staff undertaking a teaching assignment must be integrated into the curricula of the host institution. The teacher may not receive funding from another EU programme for the same teaching assignment. The teaching staff member will share his/her experience, in particular its impact on his/her professional development and on the sending higher education institution, as a source of inspiration to others. The teaching staff member and the sending institution commit to the requirements set out in the grant agreement signed between them. The teaching staff member and the receiving institution will communicate to the sending institution/enterprise any problems or changes regarding the proposed mobility programme or mobility period. Main subject field The code for the main subject can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/education/tools/isced-f_en.htm After completed Teaching Assignment 1. Submit the Erasmus Participant Report that will be sent to you automatically by email after the teaching period. 2. Ensure that the Host institution has signed the Confirmation Form. Send the Confirmation Form to erasmus@uu.se 3. Complete a travel expense report in Primula and submit it to your department for reimbursement of costs. The department reimburses your expenses and the International Office reimburses the department. Levels of compensation The grant is a contribution to the costs for travel (cheapest means of travel) and subsistence (accommodation, travels in host city and per diem/traktamente) during the period abroad. It is made out of two parts based on the national guidelines from the European Commission. Together they form a standard amount which will be transferred to the department after completed Erasmus mobility. The amount is based on number of teaching/training days so if the teaching/training days change, so does the grant. The amount is fixed and not related to actual costs. Your department has to be prepared to co-finance any indirect costs/overhead costs that might arise due to the mobility. And in case the costs exceed the approved grant the department will have to co-finance the trip. The exchange rate used is determined by the European Commission and is stated in formal decision on your application.
Travel expenses for a return trip are based on the distance between the participants place of location to the venue of the activity (one way). Travel distances must be calculated using the distance calculator supported by the European Commission: http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm. Distance Distance from the participants place of location to venue of the activity (one way) Amount Amount per participant for a return trip For travel distances between 100 and 499 KM For travel distances between 500 and 1999 KM For travel distances between 2000 and 2999 KM For travel distances between 3000 and 3999 KM For travel distances between 4000 and 7999 KM 180 EUR 275 EUR 360 EUR 530 EUR 820 EUR For travel distances of 8000 KM or more 1100 EUR Please note that there is no compensation for shorter distances than 100 km (for example Malmö- Copenhagen). The distance is measured one way but the above mentioned sums are for a return trip. Standard amount to compensate for subsistence. The sum is based on the number of days for the teaching (travels not included).
