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:
- Check the list below to see the
open opportunities for mobility in our partner Universities
