ERASMUS+ What is it?

​​Travel to one of the partners universities

After BGU has signed an Erasmus+ agreement with an European University, BGU staff members (administrative, tecnical and academic staff) may travel to that University for training or teaching.
(An Erasmus+ Agreement with a European University is being signed only after the EU approval of the Erasmus+ Application done by the European University).

Travels may be for 2 different purposes:

  • - Training (for professional improvement)
  • - Teaching (the invited person has to teach minimum 8 frontal hours).
    A teaching activity may be combined with a training activity during a single period abroad - the minimum number of hours of teaching per week is then reduced to 4 hours.

The hosting program for a Teaching Erasmus+ Mobility must be of minimum 8 frontal teaching hours (this may be at seminars, part of an ongoing course, at graduate student special meeting, extracurriculum special guest lecture, a special professional presentation for staff members…etc)

Erasmus+ program funds are for the cover of travel expenses, living expenses as defined by the European Union. A fixed amount is allocated per mobility, and may vary in each country and University.

Each European University allocates a different number of "Spots" for teaching/training mobility to and from BGU. (See list of spots for BGU staff members)

Duration:
One week: 5 working ​days +2 days travel.
The mobility should be planned to benefit ​all parties involved from both institutions (host and visitor).
 
The Process:
  1. Check the list below to see the open opportunities for mobility in our partner Universities
  2. Get in touch with a colleague from the relevant University, and propose a cooperation
  3. Receive an approval from the host university and plan with him your mobility program.
