ERASMUS+ MOBILITY PROGRAMME
2017 – 2018

WHAT IS ERASMUS+?

Erasmus+ is the EU Programme in the fields of education, training, youth and sport for the period 2014-2020 

A. Study mobility (for students)

 I. Who can participate/General requirements:

• Students enrolled in a higher education institution (HEI), following a study cycle that eventually leads to obtaining a diploma/degree (including Ph. D).
• Students who have paid their tuition fee (for the self-supported-fee-based students).
• Students who have not participated in another Erasmus mobility of the same type.
• The mobility can take place only if there is an interinstitutional agreement between the sending and the receiving institutions.
• Both institutions must have an Erasmus+ Charter.

  II. Special provisions:

          Eligibility of the candidates is conditioned by the following:

• Students who are enrolled in the IV or V year of study
• Students who finished their previous study year with good results and without failed exams
• Doctoral students of the Victor Babes University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timisoara (for doctoral study/placement mobility)

IMPORTANT: STUDENTS COMING FROM ANOTHER PARTNER COUNTRY CANNOT PARTICIPATE IN A MOBILITY IN THEIR HOME COUNTRY

 III.           Necessary documents:

• Internationally recognised language certificate, level B2 minimum (TOEFL, Cambridge, IELTS, DELF, Deutsches Sprachdiplom, etc.);
• Certificate issued by the faculty secretary, reflecting the student’s average in the previous study year and the fact that the student has successfully passed all exams;
• Curriculum vitae http://www.europass-ro.ro/pagina/curriculum_vitae ;
• Letter of intention
• 2 photos
• Copy of ID/passport
• Application form
• The curriculum of both universities proving the compatibility of the study plan

 IV.           Preparatory activities

 Before the start of the mobility, the student will receive the following documents:

• + Financial agreement signed by the home university and the student
• + Learning agreement defining the study programme jointly agreed upon by the three parties: student, the home institution, the host institution
• + Erasmus Student Charter which defines the rights and obligations of the student pertaining to the entire mobility period

 V.               After the mobility

• + The host institution has to issue a transcript of records that certifies that the study programme has been completed and the results obtained
• + The home institution has to recognise and validate all the activities finalised during the mobility, according to the Learning Agreement, by validating the obtained marks and transferable credits. The mobility period has to be included in the student’s Diploma Supplement.

 VI.           Financial support

• Students may receive an Erasmus + grant meant to cover travel expenses and subsistence during the mobility period.
• The Erasmus grant is NOT meant to cover ALL the expenses incurred during the mobility; it is only a form of financial aid and the financed period strictly depends on the financing the university receives from the National Agency
• The amount of the grant varies between 450 – 500 euro/month (according to the country of destination) for a study mobility, and may reach 650 – 700 euro/month for a placement mobility.
• If the university does not receive sufficient funds to cover all the mobilities, the students may still participate as ZERO GRANT STUDENTS.
• Erasmus+ students are exempt from paying a registration fee, tuition fee, examination fee,  or any other fees granting them access to the library and/or reading room of the host institution.

 B. Mobility of teaching/administrative staff

I. What does this entail?

Erasmus + offers teaching opportunities for the teaching staff of HEIs and invited staff from enterprises. Both teaching and administrative staff of a HEI can participate in training activities (workshops/seminars) provided the above-mentioned activities are organised within the frame of the Erasmus+ programme.

II. Necessary preparations

Teaching mobility (STA):

• In the case of a teaching mobility, the involved HEIs have to:

1. be located in one of the member states participating in the programme,
2. have a valid Erasmus Charter (ECHE),
3. have a valid Bilateral Agreement.

• The work/teaching plan has to be approved by the partner HEI before the start of the mobility.
• Teaching activities MUST be part of the curriculum of the host institution.
• The teaching staff participating in a teaching mobility need a formal letter of invitation from the host HEI.

Training mobility (STT):

• These activities take place within the frame of ”staff training” / ”workshop” / ”job shadowing” weeks organized by the host institution.
• The staff participating in a training activity is selected by the home HEI. The partner institutions must jointly approve the participant’s training programme (Training agreement/Work plan) before the start of the mobility.

III. Who can participate?

Teaching

HEIs that have applied for an Erasmus+ teaching mobility at the National Agency. The teaching mobility has to be approved by the home institution based on an invitation from the host institution.

Training
HEIs that wish to train their staff need to apply at their National Agencies, while the staff involved has to apply at their home institutions.
