The Erasmus+ programme aims to boost skills and employability, as well as modernising Education, Training, and Youth work and offers great opportunities for academic and administrative staff at Higher Education Institutions to teach or train elsewhere in Europe.
Staff mobility under the Erasmus+ Scheme is open to all staff employed by the University of York. Staff can carry out one of two types of mobility: teaching or training. In 2018/19 teaching and training mobility can now also be combined.
Priority will be given to applicants who haven't been on an Erasmus+ mobility before and funding is only available for one teaching/training programme per year per applicant.
We are now considering applications for activities to be undertaken between 1 July 2018 and 30 September 2019 (2018/19) on a first-come, first-served basis. To apply, send a draft teaching/training programme to the Centre for Global Programmes (erasmus@york.ac.uk) at least 4 weeks before departure.
The following criteria must be complied with:
Teaching mobility
Training mobility
Please note a mobility to a conference is not eligible for funding.
Priority will be given to staff undertaking practical training, short secondments and job-shadowing.

When you get back:
Once your teaching or training programme has been approved, the Centre for Global programmes will issue a grant agreement detailing the grant amount for travel and subsistence.
Please submit travel and subsistence expense claims with original receipts to your department - for further guidance please refer to the University travel and expenses policy. Please also provide copies of your travel tickets and receipts to the Centre for Global Programmes. Grants for travel and subsistence will be paid for receipted expenditure within the total grant allowance to departmental workorders.
Travel
All staff undertaking a mobility are entitled to a travel grant, with the level of funding being based on a distance calculator.
Please ensure that you provide copies of travel tickets to the Centre for Global Programmes.
Subsistence
Staff subsistence allowances are calculated based on the number of days you are carrying out teaching/training on a mobility plus two travel days and the country of destination. As a guide you can check the daily subsistence rates for your host country Staff subsistence and travel rates 2018/19 (PDF , 351kb). Please contact the Centre for Global Programmes for further advice regarding the amount of funding available for your proposed mobility.
Things to note:
Subsistence cannot be paid for weekends if they are not travel days.
If you travel over two days to reach your destination or on your return journey you will only be able to claim subsistence for one of the days as only one travel day is permitted at either side of the mobility.
Travel days must be taken directly before and after the mobility programme.
Staff can organise their own training mobilities, however we are often notified of staff training weeks taking place at institutions across Europe which we will advertise below.

A statement of support from Line Managers/Heads of Department should be emailed to global-programmes@york.ac.uk
Applications are open to all permanent University of York staff, academic and support services.
Of particular interest will be well-considered proposals which:
Before you go – provide a workorder to the Centre for Global Programmes so that funds can be transferred to departmental account.
Upon return from visit/project – within 4 weeks of your return, you are required to complete this report including a breakdown of costs and copies of receipts for items over £100. You are also required to submit four high quality photographs of your trip.
The Research Mobility Programme (RMP) is an opportunity for staff or postgraduate researchers in any academic discipline to bid for funding to visit any Worldwide Universities Network (WUN) international partner. The visit can be anything from a week to 6 months duration. Find out more:
In general, the University is happy for departments to establish bilateral and exchange agreements with suitable partner institutions overseas where it is felt that these contribute to the department’s overall objectives in teaching and research (‘suitable’ in this context means providing a good match for York in overall quality and standing.) The key thing is that there should be a genuine commitment on the part of the department to make the agreement work in practice.
