Erasmus education and training
Erasmus+ teaching and training mobility
All administrative, teaching and technical staff have the opportunity to move to a partner university to teach or train. In the same way, Avignon Université receives incoming teaching and training exchanges. The department or teacher hosting these staff members proposes a work/teaching plan and welcomes them throughout their stay.
Recognition of teaching and training mobility within the Erasmus framework
The mobility of administrative and technical staff is mentioned in the annual Individual Professional Interview (EPI). When the employee submits a promotion application (promotion table, aptitude list), this information is included. Training-related mobility is included in the summary of career paths and recognised in the list of training courses taken by the employee.
For teaching staff, they can mention mobility in their promotion files.
Mobility can take place in a partner university or company located in a country that is part of the Erasmus programme: member countries of the European Union as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Northern Macedonia, Norway, Serbia and Turkey.
Training mobility
This is a form of mobility undertaken for training purposes by all members of Avignon Université staff to an institution of higher education or to a company.
The choice of Avignon Université staff is made on the basis of a work plan proposed by the candidate and accepted by the host structures and by Avignon Université. You should therefore obtain the prior agreement of your superiors. This work plan must specify the general and specific objectives, the expected results in terms of training and knowledge acquisition, the activities to be carried out and the programme for the period.
Documents to prepare before your departure:
- training mobility contract
- application for leave to travel abroad
Minimum duration: 2 days training (+ 1 or 2 days travel).
On your return, you must provide a certificate of attendance and the final report on your placement within one month.
Teaching mobility
The aim of this mobility is to share one's subject and know-how by visiting a partner institution. Teaching assignments will be based on a brief teaching programme proposed by the candidate and accepted by the host institution and Avignon University.
A teaching contract, including the teaching programme, must be concluded for each assignment, even if several teaching assignments are carried out in the same establishment.
Documents to prepare before your departure:
- teaching contract
- application for leave to travel abroad
Minimum length of course: 8 hours per week of mobility.
Minimum duration of mobility: 2 days (+ 1 or 2 days of travel).
On your return, you must provide a certificate of attendance and the final report on your placement within one month.
Financing
Accommodation costs
For staff mobility, the Erasmus+ programme divides the programme countries into 3 categories according to the level of the cost of living:

Costs related to travel days
The beneficiary may decide to count an extra day for travel on the day before the first day of activity abroad and/or on the day after the last day of activity abroad, this/these day(s) is/are added to the duration of the mobility period and is/are also taken into account for the calculation of the subsistence costs.
Travel costs
![](https://preprod.univ-avignon.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Tableau-International-2.png)
The contribution to travel expenses covers the outward and return journeys to the place of stay. It is calculated on the basis of the distance travelled according to the kilometre bands and amounts indicated in the table below. Please note: only the outward journey must be taken into account in determining the distance and the rate.
For example, a member of staff from Avignon Université on a mission to Prague (Avignon-Prague 'one way' distance of 997.13 km) will receive €275 for his or her travel expenses. A distance calculation tool has been developed by the European Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/resources/distance-calculator_en
