Erasmus+ for teaching in Europe (KA131)

The Erasmus+ KA131 programme makes mobility grants available to teaching staff for short teaching periods at higher education institutions in Programme countries and partner countries participating in the initiative. The list of eligible countries for the relevant academic year, including active mobility flows with foreign institutions that have signed an inter-institutional agreement with our University, can be consulted at the bottom of the page.

Who can participate: lecturers, including contract lecturers, at the University of Padua. Researchers hired with Pnrr/Pon funds may participate only if they do not have other European funds intended for international mobility, in order to avoid any double funding.

Length of the period abroad: the Erasmus+ Programme Guide provides for a minimum of 2 consecutive days of activity and a maximum of 60 days (excluding travel). However, the Call limits the maximum period to 14 days including travel. During the period, a minimum of 8 hours of teaching per week is required for periods of up to 7 days in length excluding travel (or for shorter stays); the minimum teaching hours become 4 for periods of up to 7 days in length excluding travel (or for shorter stays) in the case of Teaching Staff combined with training activities, for which no minimum number of hours is required.

Grant: calculated on the basis of the Programme tables. It varies according to the distance between the University of Padua and the host institution, the cost of living in the destination country and the length of stay. If the actual expense incurred exceeds the grant awarded, the participant may, where appropriate, co-finance the difference.

Healthcare and insurance: for healthcare insurance cover during the stay abroad in European Union countries and in Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, as a rule it is sufficient to carry the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) issued by the Ministry of Health. Non-EU citizens registered with and covered by the National Health Service (SSN) cannot use the EHIC in Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein, as this is not provided for under current EU legislation (Regulation EC 859/2003). They are therefore advised in all cases to contact their local health authority (ASL). Non-EU citizens not registered with the SSN must obtain adequate healthcare cover.

How to participate: applications must be submitted exclusively by completing the online form. 
The procedure can be accessed via login (SingleSignOn username and password - the same as for email). All mandatory fields must be completed and the required files must be attached.

Selection: applications received will be assessed by a specific committee appointed by the Rector, on the basis of the selection criteria set out in the call.

Application deadline: for the 2026/2027 academic year, two calls are published: for activities to be carried out between 1 September 2026 and 30 June 2027 and for activities to be carried out between 1 February 2027 and 30 June 2027.

Mobility deadline: 30 June of the calendar year following the year in which the call is published (for the 2026/2027 call published in March 2026, the deadline is 30/06/2027).
