KA131 Staff Mobility (Program Countries)

The activity period for Staff Mobility for Teaching/Training is 5 consecutive business days, excluding travel. In order for the Teaching Mobility to be considered a valid activity, it is mandatory to teach at least 8 hours of lessons. In the grant calculation, 5 working days and 2 travel days (round trip) are calculated from the daily grant amount and the travel grant is added separately.

The grant given to staff benefiting from Erasmus+ KA131 Staff Mobility for Teaching/Training Program is a contribution and is not intended to cover all expenses related to the period spent abroad. Daily grant amounts according to the countries visited are shown in the table below.

Country Groups Countries Daily Grant
1st Group Program Countries Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Sweden, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Region 14. Countries 162 €
2nd Group Program Countries Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, Southern Cyprus, Netherlands, Spain, Italy, Malta, Portugal, Greece, 13th Region Countries 144 €
3rd Group Program Countries Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Croatia, North Macedonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia 126 €
Other Countries 1-2 Region Countries 180 €

The final amount to be paid for the mobility period is determined by multiplying the number of mobility days by the daily grant amount valid for the destination country and adding the travel contribution to this amount.

No grant payment will be made for days that do not contain any activity or for which it is not documented that activities are carried out in accordance with the type of activity performed.

Travel Expense Calculations:
For calculating the participant's travel expenses, the "Distance Calculator" required by the National Agency will be used. After the calculation, the travel grant will be determined for the km equivalent between the 2 points, by using the table below. The kilometer shown in the distance calculator is the round-trip figure for the grant in the table below, and the amount is not multiplied by two.

You can see the grant amounts to be given according to travel distance and KM ranges in the table below:

Obtained “km” value Grant Amount (Euro) Green Travel Grant Amount (Euro)
Between 10-99 KM 23 -
Between 100- 499 KM 180 210
Between 500-1999 KM 275 320
Between 2000-2999 KM 360 410
Between 3000-3999 KM 530 610
Between 4000-7999 KM 820 -
8000 KM and above 1500 -

NOTE: It is assumed that the starting point of the travel is where the sending institution is located, and the place where the activity is carried out is where the host organization is located. If the starting point of the travel is a different city from the city where the sending institution is located, or if the activity takes place in a city other than the city where the host institution is based, and the change causes the trip to enter a different distance band, travel invoices are requested and a grant is given according to the actual distance band. If a different starting point or place of activity is reported, the reason for this difference is stated in the report, and documents and invoices showing the starting and ending points of the trip are kept in the staff file to be presented in possible audits.

Beneficiaries who prove that the travel grant allocated according to the distance band in Table does not cover at least 70% of the total travel expenses can request exceptional travel expenses, provided that they document it. The grant that can be received in this context cannot exceed 80% of the total travel expenses. However, in this case, no additional travel grant will be paid according to the distance band.

Individual support for the travel days (up to 4 days) is given to the staff who choose to travel in the Green Travel type.

ZERO Grant:
Staff members may choose to participate in the mobility activity without receiving a grant. However, they must still submit an application, which will be evaluated alongside other candidates. Choosing not to receive a grant will not affect their inclusion in the selection process.

To confirm their intention to participate without a grant, staff must select "Yes" to the question "I will carry out this mobility even if I am not entitled to a grant" on the Turna Portal.

Returning Before the Completion of the Planned Activity Period
If the mobility period is completed below the minimum required duration, without being due to force majeure, the mobility will be considered invalid, and no grant payment will be made.

For Staff Mobility, if the participation certificate indicates that the activity was performed for less than 2 days and/or the required teaching hours were not completed (excluding force majeure), the activity will be considered invalid, and no grant payment will be made.

However, if force majeure can be documented, activities that do not meet the minimum duration will be accepted. In such cases, a grant will be provided for the actual duration of the stay, and travel expenses will be reimbursed based on the distance calculator.
