Which places of destination are included in the funding program?

Staff mobility must be implemented in a country that is part of the program and that is not the country of the sending institution (i.e. not in Germany) and not the main country of residence of the person concerned. 

All Erasmus+ partner universities of the KU which have agreed on an Inter-Institutional Agreement in the respective subject are eligible as target universities. You can research here  at which university you are eligible for Erasmus+ funding.

What is an Inter-Institutional Agreement?

The Inter-Institutional Agreement (IIA) is the prerequisite for funding. The IIA regulates all mobility schemes and subject areas. If no such agreement was concluded for your University yet, it can be agreed within a relatively short period of time and after consultation with the dean of your faculty – provided that the partner university agrees.

How long do I need to teach at the partner university?

The teaching staff mobility program must comprise at least eight course hours for one week (or shorter). The minimum duration of a stay is 2 days and must be proven by a confirmation of the stay. 

It is also possible to combine teaching mobility with a mobility program for continuing education purposes. In this case, you only have to provide proof of four course hours.

The Erasmus+ mobility grant includes travel and accommodation costs, which are subsidized by the EU KOM / NA DAAD as unit costs.

The unit costs for the journey are calculated using the Distance Calculator.

The place of departure is always the respective place of employment (Eichstätt or Ingolstadt).

Subsidy for travel expenses

Simple distance in accordance with Distance Calculator = amount (unit costs) per participant (= outward and return journey):

< 100 km = EUR 20.00

100 - 499 km = EUR 180.00 

500 - 1,999 km = EUR 275.00

2,000 - 2,999 km = EUR 360.00 

3,000 - 3,999 km = EUR 530.00 

4,000 - 7,999 km = EUR 820.00 

8,000 km and more = EUR 1,100.00

Accommodation costs

Accommodation costs are calculated based on daily rates. The person's mobility program must show that activities related to the mobility measure actually took place on the days that are to be supported.

Proof can be provided in the form of a confirmation issued by the host university at the end of the stay stating the beginning and end of the stay (business affairs) including the number of hours worked.

The minimum duration is 2 working days.
