There are standardized models for study and training. For Erasmus+ research, you must use these standard templates (depending on your Erasmus+ funding). For research outside the Erasmus programme, you can use one of these templates or an agreement that includes a reference to research activities and the consent of three parties. LA for studies: during mobility registers Changes to the proposed mobility programme: Table A2 contains courses/modules deleted or added. Table B2 records the changes in recognition by the sending institution. • The apprenticeship contract for internships defines the training program and activities that must be approved by the student, the sending institution and the host institution. This ensures that the sending institution recognizes the results of the internship. LA also contains the necessary information for the internship certificate, which the host institution must issue within a maximum period of 5 weeks from the successful completion of the internship. Step 6 Grant agreement signed by home students and universities Students can receive an ERASMUS+ grant from the EU to cover travel and subsistence expenses associated with study/internships abroad. The amount of the scholarship depends on the country of the host institution. The NA of the home institution and the home institution is responsible for determining the exact grant amounts for each of the three groups of countries (p.
43) and publishing the information on their websites. The same level of support should be given to all students travelling to the same group of countries for the same type of mobility. Students who complete internships will receive an additional increase in the EU grant from €100 to €200 per month. The exact amount is determined by NAs and/or universities. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds can apply for an additional Erasmus grant of between EUR 100 and EUR 200 per month. No additional grants are available for international credit mobility. A scholarship agreement for the mobility period is signed between the student and the home institution. Different payment systems are possible (e.g. B payment per semester or over a period of two months). When international credit mobility is organised, the university concludes agreements in the programme country for outgoing and incoming students. In addition to scholarships for their studies, students also receive a travel allowance. Student mobility with zero EU grants: Students with zero EU grants participate in mobility actions that do not receive an EU grant in terms of travel and livelihoods, but also meet all the criteria for student mobility and enjoy all the benefits of an Erasmus+ student.
Students without an EU grant can receive a regional, national or other scholarship to contribute to their mobility costs. Their number is taken into account in the statistics of the performance indicator used for the breakdown of the EU budget by country. • The sending institution confirms by signing LA that all courses and credits indicated in Table B will be recognized and credited to the students` diploma. Students must pass the 2nd online language exam after mobility. • For simplicity, LA for studies is divided into 3 parts before mobility, during mobility, after mobility and also contains an appendix and guidelines on how to complete the LA. The apprenticeship contract defines the study or internship programme to be carried out abroad and must be approved by the student, the sending and hosting institution, the organisation or the company before the start of the exchange. • Part 1: Before mobility, the part contains information about students, home and host institutions. Table A of the AL describes the proposed mobility programme: course components (subjects/modules), duration of the course (semester/semester, academic year), method of assessment (important information for subsequent recognition) and number of credits.
Step 7 Language test/course From 2014, the European Commission will gradually set up a European online language support service that will provide participants in credit mobility activities with a tool to assess their knowledge of the language they will use to study abroad and to take an online language course to improve their skills. The online language exam is mandatory for each student before and after the mobility period if the working language of the institution is English, Dutch, German, French, Italian or Spanish. The home institution may offer online language courses (2-12 months) for the outgoing student if the student`s level is below the recommended level. For other languages, the institution may offer courses using organizational support (OS) funds. The apprenticeship contracts for the studies created for this semester as well as the apprenticeship agreements for the internships are now still available via the previous OLA platform. Step 12 Report to ECAS – Mobility Tool Mobility Tool is a web-based platform for collaboration, management and reporting of mobility projects under the Erasmus+ programme. The IRC is responsible for entering mobility data and participant data into the system. Mobility Tool automatically sends report requests to participants after the end of the mobility period, as shown in the “End Date” field of the mobility details.
Participants will receive an invitation to complete the report on their mobility. The participants` report is available as an online questionnaire with single-choice, multiple-choice and matrix questions. Study: • The Learning Contract for Studies (LA) is a document that specifies the exact courses that the student will study and must be approved by the student, sending and hosting institution. This ensures that the sending institution recognises the Erasmus exchange under the programme. Therefore, form LA contains an additional table for the recognition plan. The actual LA must be completed before the exchange, but does not need to be sent with the application file to avoid multiple changes. The duration of the internship for graduates is counted within the maximum of 12 months of the cycle in which they apply for the internship. This means that a student who has been on exchange for 12 months during the master`s level will not be able to apply for graduate internships after completing the second cycle.
The total cumulative duration of Erasmus+ student mobility can be 36 months (12 at the first cycle, 12 at the second cycle and 12 months at the postgraduate level). • The LA proposal may include a list of courses that the student wishes to take in the first phase. The first project can be sent by e-mail to the host institution so that it can add information such as the link to the course catalogue, the name of the person responsible, the expected dates of the mobility period, etc. It also gives the host institution the opportunity to comment on the proposed curriculum and the number of credits, and to make suggestions for additional or alternative courses. Step 10 Follow-up In case of problems during the exchange phase, the student can contact the IRC of the home or host institution. The IRC of the home institution is advised to check the student at least once during the exchange period. LA for traineeships: During mobility, changes to the proposed mobility programme are recorded: Table A2 contains exceptional changes to the agreement on an internship. The sending institution is obliged to ensure the necessary linguistic preparation for the participants in the mobility. Step 13 Assessment Host and home institutions should monitor mobility and assess its quality. The success of each individual activity is very important for a more fruitful cooperation between the two institutions. It is expected that best practices and successes will be disseminated at least in the home institution. It is recommended that the IRC of the sending institution meet with the students as a follow-up after the exchange.
