APPLICATION PROCESS

  1. Follow the nomination process at your respective Institute.

  3. The FSV International Office coordinator sends all the above-mentioned documents to the receiving institution and officially nominates the candidates. 

The exchange cannot be guaranteed until confirmed by the partner university.

  1. After the nomination is confirmed, find a contact person at the receiving institution with whom you can arrange the teaching/training activities of your mobility and:
    1. fill in the Erasmus+ Mobility Agreement for Training (TRA). Do not forget to fill in your name (Participant’s name) in the header of the document
    2. ask for the Invitation letter

NOTE: If a participant has already a contact person at the receiving institution during the application process, the TRA and the Invitation letter can be filled in and processed simultaneously. However, the FSV UK International Office needs the final approval of the acceptance from the receiving institution’s International Office   

  1. Once you agree on the content of the TRA with your contact person, send a scan of TRA with your signature to the FSV UK International Office coordinator. Please, also include:
    1. the Invitation letter from a contact person at the receiving institution
    2. a filled-in Information for Issuing A Grant Agreement form
  2. The FSV UK International Office coordinator will sign the TRA on behalf of the sending institution and will send it to the receiving institution for the final signature. 
  3. All the above-mentioned documents are passed on to the European Office of Charles University that prepares a Grant Agreement stating the financial support depending on the length of your stay. The coordinator will inform you once the agreement is ready for you to sign.

BEFORE DEPARTURE

  1. Arrange the usual Employee Travel Abroad Authorisation at the Economic department of the faculty. Please do not forget to mention that your mobility is within the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility program and that you will receive financial support from the rectorate to your bank account before the mobility.
  2. The payment of the Erasmus financial support will be sent via a bank transfer to your account (preferably EUR currency account) a few days before your departure. This is processed by the European Office.

AFTER ARRIVAL

  1. A Confirmation of Erasmus+ Training (please, click here) must be filled in and approved by the International Office, or an academic or a director of the receiving Department/Institute. The original must be delivered to the FSV UK International Office. 
  2. Please remember that after your mobility you have to claim the reimbursement of the travel expenses as for a usual business trip. Note that in case your final travel costs will be higher than the Erasmus+ ICM financial support, you need to provide another financial source to cover the rest (usually from the institute). Please contact the faculty Account Office for more information on business trip requirements.
