What are Erasmus actions? - Mobility of Individuals : Organisation of Mobility

Objectives and description of the action
 

Organisation of mobility may include the following non-exhaustive list of activities:

• Provisions for selecting students and staff to take part in mobility activities
• Providing Linguistic preparation for mobile students and staff
• Providing information and assistance to students and staff (e.g. introduction to the host university/organisation, academic advice to students, assistance with practical matters such as accommodation, social security, residence permits, travel, provision of tutor/mentor for incoming students)
• Academic and organisational arrangements with partner institutions (e.g. for students, the recognition of study periods abroad; for teachers, the inclusion of courses taught in the regular programme of the host university; arrangements for student and course assessment, etc.; this may involve visits to partner universities)
• Development and use of the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) and the Diploma Supplement (DS)
• Ensuring that students are provided with the necessary agreements on their programme of study and the related assessment arrangements (i.e. learning agreements)
• Arrangements for the monitoring of outgoing students, including visits to partner institutions or organisations
• Organisation of feedback from returning students and staff, and making feedback available to prospective outgoing students and staff (this may include helping local student organisations or selected students in various departments to provide information and counselling services to outgoing or incoming students)
• Specific arrangements to ensure the quality of student placements in enterprises.
• Each higher education institution sending out students and staff for Erasmus mobility periods receives funding for the organisation of mobility from the NA in its country. The level of funding is calculated mainly on the basis of the volume of outgoing mobility.

Full details of the conditions for participation are contained in the general call for proposals relating to the academic year concerned.
