Erasmus+ Staff Teaching Mobility (STA)

Faculty/Administrative staff members must be full-time/part-time employees of Kadir Has University (KHAS). The staff members who have a contract with KHAS can also participate in the program even though the employee does not have a tenure at KHAS.

Important Note: The staff who have a contract with the higher education institution can benefit from the program in that HEI. The staff who have a permanent contract with a HEI, yet effectively work in a different HEI under a fixed term contract shall participate in the staff mobility program in the institution they effectively work, not in the institution they have an indefinite contract with.

All the mobilities should last min 2 days and max 4 days. The activity should consists 8 hours of teaching.

Important Note: If the activity lasts less than 2 days or the hours are less than the minimum requirement, the activity is considered as invalid.

To be able to participate in this mobility program, your Department/Faculty must have a valid Erasmus+ staff exchange agreement with the host institution you intend to visit. If you wish to visit an institution that is not yet our partner, we urge you to inform the host institution and initiate the procedure for signing the agreement. Please note that an institution must have an Erasmus Charter to be able to take part in this mobility.

Grants are paid in two instalments. 70% of the total grant (daily grant & travel grant) is ideally paid before departure following the submission of before mobility documents, and the remaining 30% is paid after the staff member submits all required after mobility documents. Payments are made in Euros (€).

Zero Grant Participation

Participants can participate in the program without receiving grant. However, they have to go through the same application & selection procedures and also submit the required documents.

Erasmus Disability Grant

Additional grants are available for participants with disabilities, where participation would not be possible without extra financial support. The allowance is offered when disabilities or health conditions lead to additional mobility costs, which exceed the maximum grant allocations allowed, and which cannot be recovered from other sources. The grant covers approved actual costs. Participant’s application must include a statement from a doctor or other authority confirming the disability or health condition, its severity, the impact on the Erasmus+ mobility, additional requirements, and additional costs to be met. A detailed estimate of costs is required. The application should provide information on any other sources of financial support that the participant receives and why this is insufficient to cover extra costs.
