What Is Teaching Mobility? Teaching mobility refers to the activity that allows a staff member responsible for teaching to deliver lectures to students at a partner higher education institution in one of the program countries. It also involves carrying out joint academic/educational activities related to teaching with the host institution.
It is also possible to invite staff employed at an enterprise or a higher education institution without an ECHE (Erasmus Charter for Higher Education) based in one of the program countries to GTU to deliver lectures to students.
The staff invited to teach must be actively employed at an enterprise, training center, research center, or another organization that meets the definition of a business abroad. Since the grant for the invited individual will be provided by GTU, universities cannot be included in this scope for inviting staff.
Requirements for Participating in Teaching Mobility The academic staff member must be employed and teaching at least part-time at a higher education institution holding an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE).
There must be an inter-institutional agreement between the relevant departments of the universities. You can access these agreements in the IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND DOCUMENTS section.
A teaching program accepted by both home and host higher education institutions must exist. (The teaching program is required to have been approved with signature by the parties and must at least include the general purpose/objectives, content, and expected outcomes of the planned program.)
Duration of Activity The duration of the activity may be between 2 consecutive days and 2 months, excluding travel days.
Due to the limited grant allocated to our university and high demand, a maximum of 7 days of grant (excluding travel days) is provided per individual in order to benefit a larger number of individuals. However, participants may continue their mobility beyond this period of time without the grant.
Even if an individual carries out activities for a longer period of time, the grant payment will be made for a maximum of 7 days only.
The teaching activity must include a minimum of 8 hours of teaching weekly (or for a shorter duration of stay).
The required number of teaching hours must increase proportionally to the duration of the mobility for stays longer than one week. (2 weeks = 16 hours minimum / 3 weeks = 24 hours minimum).
The minimum duration of the activity for staff to be invited from an enterprise is 1 day, excluding travel days. There is no minimum teaching hours requirement for staff in this category.
Special Cases in Staff Mobility Staff mobility may be carried out by combining the teaching activity with a training activity. This combination is considered as a single teaching activity in itself.
Teaching or training activities may be carried out at multiple host institutions/organizations within the same country. In this case, it is considered as a single teaching or training activity, subject to the minimum activity duration requirement. |
