Minimum and Maximum Durations for Staff Teaching Mobility
For staff teaching mobility, the activity duration is at least 2 consecutive days (excluding travel) for mobility between Programme countries, and at least 5 consecutive days for mobility between Programme and Partner countries. In both cases, the maximum duration of the activity is 2 months. For the activity to be considered valid, a minimum of 8 teaching hours must be delivered. In cases where the activity lasts longer than 1 week, the required teaching hours must increase proportionally to the duration (for example, since 8 hours of teaching are required for a 1-week activity, at least 16 hours must be delivered for a 2-week activity).
In cases where teaching and training activities are carried out together, the minimum teaching duration is 4 hours for activities lasting one week or less.
For staff employed in an enterprise or one of the institutions listed above, based in a Programme country, who are invited to teach students at a higher education institution in Turkey holding an ECHE, the minimum mobility duration is 1 day (excluding travel days), with no minimum teaching hour requirement.
In staff teaching mobility, if it is observed on the certificate of participation that the beneficiary carried out the activity for less than 2 days (except in cases of force majeure*) and/or delivered fewer teaching hours than required, the activity is considered invalid and no grant payment is made to the beneficiary.
Provided that the force majeure can be documented, activities in which the minimum duration could not be completed are accepted; a grant is awarded for the period spent, and travel expenses are paid based on the distance calculator. The Centre must be contacted before an event or situation can be considered as force majeure.
*"Force majeure" means any exceptional situation or event beyond the control of the parties, which prevents either party from fulfilling any of its contractual obligations, is not attributable to error or negligence on the part of the parties, their subcontractors, affiliates, or third parties involved in the implementation, and which could not have been avoided despite all due care and attention, and was unforeseeable. The failure to provide a service, defects in equipment or materials, or their late availability cannot be invoked as force majeure unless they are directly caused by a force majeure event and are not the result of labour disputes, strikes, or financial difficulties.
