Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching and/or Training - beyond Europe (KA 171)

The Erasmus+ KA171 Programme makes mobility grants available to Padua teaching staff for periods of teaching and/or training abroad at higher education institutions in non-European countries (partners) participating in the project.

Who can take part: teaching staff, including contract staff, of the University of Padua (in specific cases CEL and non-teaching staff) provided that an inter-institutional agreement for the relevant year has previously been signed between the two institutions.
Researchers hired with Pnrr/Pon funds may take part only if they do not have other European funds intended for international mobility, in order to avoid any double funding

Duration of the mobility: the Erasmus+ Guide provides for a minimum of 5 consecutive days of activity and a maximum of 60 days (excluding travel). The call, however, limits the period to a maximum of 14 days including travel. During the period, a minimum of 8 teaching hours is required for periods of up to 7 days in duration excluding travel (or for a shorter stay). The minimum number of teaching hours becomes 4 for periods of up to 7 days in duration excluding travel (or for shorter stays) in the case of Teaching Staff combined with training activities; for training activities there is no minimum number of hours.

Grant: calculated on the basis of the Programme tables. It varies according to the distance between the University of Padua and the host institution and the duration of the stay. If the actual expense incurred is higher than the grant awarded, the participant may, where applicable, co-finance the difference.

Healthcare assistance and insurance: for health insurance cover during a stay abroad in countries outside the European Union, TEAM cover is not sufficient. It is therefore always necessary to take out private insurance. For more information on insurance cover abroad guaranteed by the University, please consult the webpage "Accidents and insurance".

How to apply: applications must be submitted exclusively online. The procedure is accessible 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.

Deadline for submitting the application: each calendar year a single call is published with two rounds (usually March and October) to access grants linked to the three institutional agreements in force at that time.

Mobility deadline: 31 October of the calendar year following the year in which the call is published (for example, for the call published in March 2026, the mobility deadline is set at 31/10/2027).
