Erasmus+ for teachers
The EU Erasmus+ programme allows teachers to carry out a period of teaching activity at a foreign higher education institution that has already signed a bilateral agreement with the University of Bergamo. It also allows them to host experts from foreign companies for teaching activities.
Mobility teachers will be recognised for their teaching period abroad.
Eligibility
The programme is open to staff from higher education institutions holding the European Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) and staff from companies in one of the participating countries. More specifically, eligible teachers are:
At the time of mobility, the teacher/assistant must have an ongoing contract with the University of Bergamo, while teaching staff coming from a company must be in service with the company to which they belong.
Duration
Minimum: 2 days and 8 hours of teaching. Maximum: 2 months.
EU subsidies
A travel and accommodation subsidy (board, lodging and local transport) are provided. The travel subsidy is calculated on the basis of scales of unit costs per distance bracket. The subsidy for accommodation is determined considering the country of destination.
For disabled teachers, specific additional EU contributions are available.
Applications
In view of the deadlines imposed by the Erasmus+ Italy National Agency, applications from teachers must be submitted to the International Programmes Office in the spring of the previous academic year. Before departure, the teacher must define the Teaching Programme.
Company staff will instead be contacted upon invitation by the University of Bergamo.
Before the departure
Before the departure, the teacher must define the Teaching Programme or Teaching/Training. This document will be sent by email directly to the teachers concerned.
At the end of the mobility period
At the end of the mobility period, the teacher must be issued with a certificate of attendance specifying the lessons held, the days attended and the total teaching hours. Those taking part in a training programme must also be issued with a certificate of completion of the training course, indicating the days, hours and subjects attended.
Please remember that for 2020-21, the Erasmus programme ends on 30th September 2022.
Erasmus+ for staff
The University of Bergamo, through the funds provided by the Erasmus+ programme, also promotes technical-administrative staff mobility, allowing them to spend a training period abroad at a higher education institution.
Eligibility
The concerned staff must check the list of host Universities and autonomously get in touch with the foreign body at which they have decided to spend their training period.
To be eligible for the grant, the applicant must submit a work plan already agreed upon between the University of Bergamo and the host institution. The work plan must be drawn up according to the outline provided in the application form.
Duration
Minimum: 2 working days. Maximum: 2 months. Two additional return trip days must be included in the calculation.
The University will finance up to 5 days of mobility (3/4 activity plus ½ of return trip) regardless of the duration of the mission.
EU subsidies
A travel and accommodation subsidy (board, lodging and local transport) are provided. The travel subsidy is calculated on the basis of scales of unit costs per distance bracket. The subsidy for accommodation is determined considering the country of destination.
