Folkwang

Erasmus+ teaching mobility 

Erasmus+ is not just for students! The programme also provides funding for short teaching stays at one of our partner universities in Europe.

Requirements

One of the requirements of an Erasmus+ teaching mobility is an inter-institutional agreement between Folkwang University of the Arts and the host university. Take a look at our partner universities in Europe to see the current options. The International Office can advise you.

 

The minimum duration of an Erasmus+ teaching stay is two days. The teaching workload must be at least eight hours per stay/per week if your stay exceeds one week.

 

In order to be eligible for funding, you need a letter of invitation from the host university. Remember to submit a Dienstreiseantrag/travel application for your stay at Folkwang as well. If you receive Erasmus+ funding, there will be no additional refund of travel expenses from the university.

 

The following groups of people are eligible to apply:

  • Professors and lecturers who have an employment contract at Folkwang University of the Arts
  •  
  • Artistic and research associates (Künstlerische/Wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiter*innen) who have an employment contract at Folkwang University of the Arts

 

Funding rates

The funding for an Erasmus+ teaching mobility consists of a country-specific daily allowance and a travel allowance depending on the distance. Those who travel by low-emission means of transport such as bus and train may apply for additional “green travel” funding.

 

Depending on the budget and the number of applicants in a given year, it is possible that only part of your stay will be funded.

 

You can find information on the current funding rates here.

Application

Please apply to the International Office by January 15 for stays in the following academic year (winter and summer semester) with a brief description of your plans and your motivation.

 

You will draw up a Mobility Agreement for Teaching in good time before departure. The Mobility Agreement should include the dates, teaching hours, objectives and content of the courses as well as the expected results. The agreement must be signed by you, the International Office at Folkwang and the responsible person at the host university before the beginning of your stay.

 

The International Office will inform you about the result of your application for Erasmus+ funding. If your stay can be funded, the International Office will draw up a grant agreement. This agreement must be signed by you before your departure. Once it has been signed, the first installment of your funding (70% of the total sum) will be transferred to you.

 

After your stay

At your stay, submit the following documents to the International Office:

 

Confirmation of Stay (This can be issued by your contact person at the host university. Make sure that the beginning and end of your teaching stay are correctly stated here.)

 

EU online survey (You will receive a link to this survey by e-mail. Please complete and submit it by the deadline stated in the e-mail.)

 

Once you submit these documents, the second installment of your funding (30% of the total sum) will be transferred to you.
