The KA171-HED project is a type of project that offers higher education students and staff the opportunity to learn or gain professional experience in a country called a “third country not associated with the programme”.
Who can participate?
Permanent or contracted academic staff , working at Istanbul Atlas University can apply. Academic staff whose contract position is different from assigned position should apply to place of duty. Since there is no contract between the personnel employed in ATLAS through service procurement, these people can not benefit from staff mobility. Available institutions, departments and quotas are to be listed in the future.
Field of Activities
Teaching staff mobility is a field of activity that allows academic staff employed at ATLAS who has responsibility to teach at ATLAS, to teach at a partner institution. Conference participation cannot be supported within this scope.
Activity Duration
The minimum number of days of activity is 5 days. During this period, the staff should teach at least 8 hours. In the event that the beneficiary has been active for less than 5 days in the participation certificate, the activity is considered invalid and no grant payment is made to the beneficiary.
Grant Support
The grant given to the personnel benefiting from the staff teaching mobility is a contribution, and the grant is not intended to cover all the expenses related to the period spent abroad. The final amount to be paid for the mobility period is determined by multiplying the number of mobility days with the daily grant amount valid for the country of destination and adding the travel contribution to this amount.
Individual Support
| Receiving Country | Euro per day |
| Partner Countries from Region 14* | 162 |
| Partner Countries from Region 5* | 144 |
| Partner Countries from Regions 1-4 and 6-13 * | 180 |
Travel Support
Travel support is provided for the round-trip travel between the program and partner countries. The amount of travel support should be calculated with the “Distance Calculator”. The distance calculator is available at the link:
http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm
The distance between home and host institution should be calculated via distance calculator and then the table below should be used to see how much grant is allocated for this distance.
Staff who prefer a green travel will receive up to 4 days of additional individual support to cover travel days for a return tip, if relevant.
| Travel distance | In case of standard travel | In case of green travel |
| Between 10 - 99 km | 23 Euro per participant | |
| Between 100 - 499 km | 180 Euro per participant | 210 Euro per participant |
