ATTENTION: mobilities of the academic staff are possible only to the countries outside of the Erasmus+ zone, so excluding countries of the EU, EFTA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein), Turkey, Macedonia (FYROM), and Serbia.
Persons who did not participate in the first edition of the programme shall be given priority.
All applications that meet formal requirements shall be evaluated on their substance by the committee appointed by the Vice-Rector for International Relations and Projects.
In the case of PhD students, the motivation for mobility shall be evaluated, with particular focus on the description of the expected mobility outcomes and the mean grade.
C. PhD incoming visits (25 placements):
The incoming persons should be nominated by their home institutions (units equivalent to the International Office). The application addressed to the project coordinator in the International Office should include contact details of the incoming student along with an e-mail address, proof of English or Polish proficiency (does not apply to the native speakers of these languages), contact details of the contact person from UWr, and a copy of passport, if the incoming student needs an entry visa to Poland.
We encourage academic staff maintaining contacts with foreign institutions to distribute this information among their collaborators at partner universities.
- PROGRAMME RULES:
- The goal of the mobility can be: active participation in a conference, participation in a summer/winter school as a student or instructor, participation in a course, training or some other short learning activity, archival or library search query, collecting materials/resources for a PhD dissertation or scientific paper, consultations with the staff of a foreign inatitution, using unique apparatus unavailable at the home institution, conducting classes.
- The mobility cannot last less than 5 days and more than 30, assuming that designated funds will allow for the organisation of several 30-day visits. Days spent on travel are included in the total duration of the stay and should be indicated in the certificate, a template of which every participant shall receive after having signed the financial agreement.
- Only persons under 40 years of age can participate.
- Incoming and outgoing mobilities can take place between 01 November 2019 and 15 September 2020.
- Financing covers flat-rate travel and living costs according to the rates laid out in the rules of the programme (available at the NAWA website: https://nawa.gov.pl/images/PROM-2019/Regulamin-Programu-PROM.pdf). The programme also allows for the financing of conference fees, participation in courses, trainings, etc. until designated funds are exhausted (we intend to finance approx. 20 persons). Flat-rate for travel costs depends on the distance measured in straight line between the participant's place of residence and the place of stay during the mobility, it may be estimated using the distance calculator at
https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en
- For financial settlement one has to submit: a certificate including the description of learning outcomes signed by a representative of the host institution and the financial settlement form; also, an on-line questionnaire needs to be filled in. The templates of the documents and the link and an access code to the questionnaire will be provided by the project coordinator in the International Office.
