Staff Mobility Programme with Erasmus
Erasmus+ Staff Mobility with Gumushane University
The staff members of the Department of English Language and Literature within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities are eligible to participate in the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility Programme.
Erasmus+ KA171 Project supports student and staff exchange by encouraging cooperation with higher education institutions and organisations within the partner countries. There are different types of activities within the project, such as study and traineeship for students, and training and teaching mobility for staff.
Erasmus+ staff mobility, which is expected to contribute to the overall priorities of Erasmus+, the EU Agenda for Modernisation of Higher Education and the individual HEIs international strategy, can be in two forms;
Staff Mobility for Teaching Assignments (STA)
Staff Mobility for Training (STT)
Staff Mobility for Teaching Assignments (STA)
This mobility type allows academic staff of HEIs to carry out a teaching activity, which has to be comprised of 8 hours of teaching per week (or any shorter period of stay but not less than 5 days). If the mobility lasts longer than one week, the minimum number of teaching hours for an incomplete week should be proportional to the duration of that week. Teaching Assignments might include a variety of activities such as lecturing, hands-on teaching activities, giving a seminar and organizing a workshop.
Staff Mobility for Training (STT)
This mobility type allows administrative staff of HEIs to carry out a training activity which supports the professional development of staff, in terms of the transfer of knowledge and good practice, learning from shared experience and the acquisition of new practical skills. Training events might include job-shadowing, observation, a short secondment period, attendance at workshops or staff training weeks.
*Training events do not include conferences.
Staff Mobility-Duration
According to Erasmus+ program rules, duration of staff mobility (Teaching/Training) ranges from 5 days to 2 months (max.) excluding travel time. However, as the Program budget allocated to GU changes every year, the maximum duration of the teaching mobility may be subject to change.
