How to apply?

The Erasmus+ Staff Mobility call 2019/20 will be promoted via an all staff email which will be sent out in August 2019. 

Please note that all applications will need to be endorsed by line managers and will need to be submitted via email along with the application.

In the event that we receive more applications than can be funded, in line with Erasmus National Agency guidelines, priority will be given to staff that have not accessed Erasmus funding in the past. Additionally, colleges and administrative departments may be asked to prioritise applications from their staff.

Applications for the 2019/20 call will be released later in the year.

Staff must be employed by Swansea University and priority will be given to staff who have not previously received Erasmus staff mobility funding. Additionally, colleges and administrative departments may be asked to prioritise applications from their staff. 

Distances must be calculated from the home to the host university /organisation using the online tool provided by the EC. 

Please note: the "travel distance" represents the distance between the place of origin and the venue, whereas the "amount" covers the contribution to the travel both to and from the venue.

 These are 2018/19 amounts and are subject to change.

There are a number of ways that the Erasmus+ grant can be accessed:

• Pay for everything yourself and on return from your mobility complete the online staff expenses form via the intranet, submit the claim and receipts to Corinne Rees in the International Development Office so that it can be processed and payment can be reimbursed. Please make sure that the claim is submitted no later than 4 weeks after your return to Swansea. 
• Subject to the discretion of each department, they can pay for the trip and on the return the IDO will arrange a recharge to the department. Please send copies of the claim, receipts and the budget code used to Corinne Rees so that the recharge can be arranged. 

• The total funding allowance for your trip can be transferred to a departmental code. If you choose this option please email Corinne Rees the budget code to send the funds to. Please send copies of the claim, receipts to Corinne Rees for budget checks and if not all the funds are used, the remaining balance will need to be recharged back to the Staff Mobility budget code.
