Erasmus+ Mobility for Teaching

The mobility program for Erasmus+ professors is an important project in inter-university cooperation, which aims to promote European standards in the quality of Higher Education.

This initiative is considered a priority for Iscte. It allows professors to carry out a short-term teaching project at a partner University located in one of the participating countries: the EU Member States, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, and Turkey.

The mission includes the teaching of courses as part of the official study program at the host institution, contributing to:

The development and consolidation of the relationships between this University and Iscte, the Schools, and their Departments;
The preparation of future academic cooperation projects;
The personal and professional development of the teacher.

Eligibility Criteria

Participants must be connected to Iscte through a work contract for a teaching project and/or studying during the academic year of their mobility program;
The teaching mission that participants propose must occur at a university that holds an Erasmus Charter for Higher Education with which Iscte has already created a bilateral ERAMUS+ agreement.

You can contact the International Relations Office (IRO) to learn more about the universities that have a cooperation agreement with Iscte.

Application Process

The professor interested in applying must establish contact with the partner university they want to work at and send the following documents to iro@iscte-iul.pt:

The Staff Mobility program for Teaching Professors form must be duly completed and signed, with a clear indication of the objectives and planned dates for the mobility program;
An invitation letter/e-mail sent by the host institution indicating the planned dates for the mobility program and the total number of hours to be taught. The following template can be used; Staff Mobility program for Teaching Invitation Letter;
The Staff Mobility program for Teaching Mobility Agreement must be duly completed and signed by the teacher.

Once all of these steps are completed, the IRO will forward the application for further consideration. Professors will be informed of the result of the application by e-mail.

Duration of Mobility

The Mobility program must have a minimum duration of 2 days and a maximum of 2 months.

To benefit a greater number of professors, Iscte awards grants for mobility programs for a maximum duration of 5 days.

Mobility Program Scholarship

The value of the Erasmus+ scholarship varies depending on the costs of living in the country of destination and the duration of the mobility. The total amount distributed is determined annually by the National Erasmus+ Education and Training Agency and includes:

Individual support/subsistence - KA103_Bolsas_MobilidadePessoal

This amount corresponds to the daily cost of living to cover expenses related to accommodation, food, local transportation (e.g., from the hotel to where classes take place), travel and any travel cancellations, phone service, internet, and other additional costs;

Travel - KA103_Bolsas_MobilidadePessoal

The value of the scholarship corresponds to the distance, in kilometers, between Iscte and the host University, calculated using the European Commission calculator.

The scholarship will be paid by bank transfer to the NIB indicated in the Teaching File application after the delivery of the Staff Mobility program Agreement for Teaching, duly signed by the parties involved in the Erasmus+ Contract.
