Erasmus+ KA171 Staff to Third Countries

General information

Cofinançat pel programa Erasmus + de la UE

The Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission promotes the mobility of the university community.

The Erasmus+ KA171 action of this programme provides funds for mobility with Partner Countries.

With the funds that have been awarded within the framework of the Erasmus + Partner Countries-Ka171 programme, the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) announces a series of grants for the mobility of UAB staff.

Type of stays:

The grants available are for stays of a duration of 5 days, plus 1 or 2 days of travel for:

  • Training Stays (STT): Teaching staff (PDI) or administrative and service staff (PAS) participate with the aim of improving their educational and training skills.
  • Teaching Stays (STA): Teaching staff (PDI) participates by giving a minimum of 8 hours of teaching activities.
  • Teaching and Training Combined Stays: Teaching Staff (PDI) participates by teaching a minimum of 4 hours of teaching activities and doing 4 hours of training.

The Spanish agency for Erasmus+ SEPIE offers institutions and organizations participating in the Erasmus+ program specific support on topics related to inclusion (special needs, refugees, people with less resources), which you will find in this link. In this document you will find more information.

Participants, students and teaching and administrative staff, will be able to present documentation to receive additional mobility aid. Inclusion support is financial support to cover additional costs for students and staff with fewer opportunities who participate in mobility activities of the Erasmus+ program. To access this support, participants must have a recognized and legally qualified disability of a degree equal to or greater than 33%, or suffer from physical, mental or health problems duly certified through the corresponding medical certification, as well as comply with the rest of admissibility criteria established in the Program.

The amount will cover 100% of the actual subsidized costs that are requested, directly related to your disability, provided that they are not covered through the budgetary categories of "travel" (if applicable) and "individual support", including the additional aid for students with fewer opportunities. (Among the subsidized expenses are the following: special/adapted transportation of the participant in the host country, escorts, professional services, preparatory visits and other expenses.)

Request the additional allowance using this form, for the Erasmus KA131 and KA171 program.

All participants who request "Apoyo a la inclusión" based on actual costs will have to prove their degree of disability and documentably justify to the institution of higher education of origin or coordinator of the mobility consortium the actual expenses corresponding to the amount of the additional aid received .
