Funding

One can obtain funding from the Erasmus+ program. In the case of Spain, it amounts to 1 160 euro (1 210 euro if green means of transportation are used). The employee is to use the funding to settle the costs of the travel, accommodation, food etc.

In order to obtain the funding, one has to pass the mobility procedure and submit all required documents within the deadline (the procedure is available here). The funding can be awarded for the maximum of 5 days (i.e. a lecturer who decides to conduct a two-week course from 15-26 July, can obtain funding only for half of the stay, however if two lecturers divide the course and each of them conducts one week of classes, then both of them obtain funding for the 5-day trip). 

Application deadline

Applications can be submitted until 11 December.
