Teaching at a Partner Institution

Teachers and PhD students who are employed at Mid Sweden University can apply for mobility grants for teaching at a partner institution within Erasmus+. Teaching includes lecturing, seminars, individual tutoring and examinations. The mobility should last at least two days (not including travel days) and include at least 8 teaching hours per week. 

Criteria
Applications are currently accepted on a rolling basis. The ambition is to divide the grants between our two faculties as evenly as possible. Mobilites are usually limited to a maximum of 2 weeks per applicant to allow more participants. In case of more applications than available grants, priority is given to first time applicants. Beyond this, priority is given to mobilities that: 

• aims to develop new course material (according to priority above)
• aims to further confirm or broaden contacts and collaborations between departments and faculties
• aims to prepare for future collaborations/projects

How to apply 
1. Identify partner university and the dates of your mobility. Confirm your plans with the Head of the department, as the grant rarely covers all expenses. 
2. Fill in the word document Mobility Agreement on your computer. Sign it along with the Head of the department, and send it to Karin Sjögren, International Relations Office.
3. If your application is approved, you will receive a decision on email. When you have received your decision, send the Mobility Agreement to your host for their signature (scanned signature is accepted), and then send it to IRO along with your filled in and signed Grant Agreement.
4. Book your trip with Mid Sweden University's travel agency. 

Payment of mobility grants 
The home department at Mid Sweden University covers all costs initially. The mobility grant is paid to the home department after the mobility is completed. When the International Relations Office has received all required documents and the EU-survey evaluation has been handed in online, there will be a transfer of funding to the home department. The grant amount is determined by country of stay, number of days at the host institution, and distance to the host institution, all in accordance with principles defined by the EU Commission. Please note that the grants may vary between project periods and rarely cover all expenses.
