Staff Training Mobility

All academic and administrative staff of our university can apply to the Erasmus+ Staff Training Mobility Program.

The Erasmus+ Staff Training Mobility Program is an activity aimed at enhancing the knowledge and experience of staff members in their respective fields of work.

Mobility can be carried out by visiting higher education institutions that hold the Erasmus University Charter or by visiting private businesses, chambers of commerce, trade unions, research institutions, etc.

The mobility activity can be conducted for a minimum of 2 days and a maximum of 2 months, excluding travel (Due to application intensity, one week of the activity is funded by our university. Staff members who wish to extend their activity period can do so without funding).

Selected staff members are required to complete their activities and return by September 30.

Staff members who wish to participate in the exchange activity without receiving a grant can do so under the "Non-Grant Staff Training Mobility" category. However, they still need to apply to the Erasmus Office during the application period.

Application and Selection Process:

During the announcement period of the relevant academic year, all application documents must be submitted to the Erasmus Office of our university (Staff members who fail to submit their documents during the application period, even if accepted, will not be able to benefit from the program).

Evaluation will be carried out based on the announced evaluation criteria during the application period, and the results will be announced on the Erasmus Office website.

Candidates who are selected as primary candidates will provide an acceptance letter within the specified dates and submit it to the Erasmus Office (Along with the acceptance letter, a signed "Mobility Agreement" document will be submitted from the host institution).

Candidates who have submitted their documents will apply to their respective academic or administrative units (Institute, Faculty, Vocational School, Department, Directorate, etc.) to obtain an assignment for their stay period (In the assignment, it must be explicitly stated that the staff member is assigned under the Erasmus+ Program and that travel and per diem expenses will be covered by the Erasmus+ Program).

Once the assignment is approved, the staff member who received the assignment will proceed with ticketing and, at least 30 days prior to departure, apply to the Erasmus Office for the preparation of the grant agreement (Opening a Euro account at Vakıfbank is required for the signing of the agreement).

After the agreements are signed, 80% of the total per diem that needs to be received before the departure abroad will be transferred to the staff member's account.

Upon the completion of the program abroad, the original participation certificate (if the original is not submitted to the Erasmus Office, the Mobility Agreement and acceptance letter) and Boarding Passes will be submitted to the Erasmus Office.

Finally, after entering the Training Report into the system, the staff member will receive 20% of the per diem and eligible travel expenses.

Required Documents:

Before Departure:

• Application Form (Mobility Agreement) (Download)
• Language Certificate (if required)
• Invitation Letter
• Grant Agreement for Training Mobility (Download)
• Assignment Decision
• Euro Account (Vakıfbank, affiliated branch of Dicle University)

Upon Return:

• Certificate of Participation (Download)
• Report from the Returning Staff Member
• Boarding Passes (for all travels)

All documents to be prepared must be obtained in original form from the host institution. The staff member who ensures the scanned copies of the documents before the departure abroad is responsible for delivering the original document to the office upon return. Staff members with missing documents or those who fail to submit the original documents will not receive a 20% payment.
