We are open to establishing cooperation with more partners. If you are interested in going to a university with which we do not have an agreement, please contact us at [email protected].

It is a good idea to follow the search engine http://staffmobility.eu/ on which you can find information about upcoming events like International Week and trainings in which you can participate using funds received from the Erasmus+ program.

Step 3- Results announcement

After the meeting of the Admissions Committee, the employee will receive to his/her mailbox information about the results of the competition and the award or denial of the mobility grant.

Step 4 – Signing of the teaching /training mobility agreement

The next step is the signing of a tripartite agreement between the employee, the host organization and the sending organization (WAB). The agreement contains information about the sending and receiving organization, the mobility participant who is leaving, and the planned course of the mobility, objectives and expected results.

The applicable forms are below:

Mobility Agreement; Staff Mobility For Teaching (STA)

Mobility Agreement; Staff Mobility For Training (STT)

Step 5- Signing of the financial agreement between WAB and the employee

Before leaving, it is necessary to sign an agreement on the responsibilities and rules in connection with the mobility granted. The amount of the grant depends on the length and location of the stay. The grant is awarded to subsidize living expenses and teaching or participation in training. The grant is transferred to the outgoing employee’s bank account at Santander Bank maintained in EURO currency.
