Staff mobility for teaching enables academic staff employed at a higher education institution holding an ECHE in Türkiye to deliver lectures at a higher education institution either:
This activity also allows joint academic and educational activities with the host institution. Teaching mobility is calculated on a daily basis, and grants are provided for the days on which teaching is delivered. For this reason, the Staff Mobility for Teaching – Mobility Agreement must specify the teaching program on a daily basis. The minimum duration of the activity is 2 days, and in order to allow more staff to benefit from the available funds, the maximum duration has been set at 5 days. A minimum of 8 teaching hours must be delivered during the mobility. If, according to the certificate of participation, the staff member (without force majeure) delivers fewer than 2 days of activity and/or fewer than the required teaching hours, the activity will be deemed invalid and no grant will be paid.
The daily grant amounts for staff mobility vary depending on the host country and are calculated according to the table for the 2024 project period. To ensure broader participation, the maximum grantable period is limited to 5 days.
The travel grant is calculated using the official Distance Calculator provided by the European Commission. The distance between Tokat and the host institution is determined through the calculator, and the corresponding band in the travel grant table is used. The amounts indicated are for round trips and are not multiplied by two. Connecting flights or indirect travel do not affect the calculated distance.

Staff members receive a total grant consisting of daily subsistence and travel support. No additional payments are made for flights, buses, or accommodation. Prior to the mobility, 80% of the total grant is paid, and the remaining 20% is transferred after successful completion of the mobility and submission of all required documents.
Applications are submitted through the TURNA Portal by staff registered at their respective higher education institution, in line with the Council of Higher Education’s circular dated 22.02.2022 and numbered 12994. For each project period, the application and evaluation process is determined by the Erasmus+ Selection and Evaluation Committee and announced on our website. In case selected (principal) participants withdraw or fail to provide an acceptance letter, candidates from the reserve list are given the opportunity to participate.

Staff mobility for teaching enables:
academic staff employed at a higher education institution holding an ECHE in Türkiye to teach at a higher education institution in a Partner Country (non-Programme Country), or
academic staff employed at a higher education institution in a Partner Country to teach at a higher education institution holding an ECHE in Türkiye.
In addition, it is possible for a higher education institution in a Partner Country to invite staff from an eligible enterprise in a Programme Country, and vice versa. Eligible enterprises include all types of public or private organizations, regardless of size, legal status, or sector of activity, including those in the social economy.
All non-EU countries outside the Programme Countries (EU Member States and Iceland, Liechtenstein, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Türkiye) are classified as Partner Countries (non-associated third countries). The list of partner institutions with which our university has agreements for staff teaching mobility can be found in the KA171 Inter-Institutional Agreements List. Please note that the countries and institutions available for application may vary each project period. The minimum duration of the activity is 5 consecutive days (excluding travel) and the maximum is 7 days. A minimum of 8 teaching hours must be delivered. If, according to the certificate of participation, the staff member (without force majeure) delivers fewer than 5 days of activity and/or fewer than the required teaching hours, the activity will be deemed invalid and no grant will be paid.
The daily grant amounts are determined according to the destination country and duration, based on the tables provided for the relevant project period (2023 / 2024).
For both KA131 and KA171, staff members may participate in the activities without receiving a grant. In such cases, applications must still be submitted and will be evaluated together with other applications. The only difference is that the staff member is not included in the budget calculation and does not receive any payment. Not receiving a grant does not exempt staff from the selection process.
