Call for Applications to the Erasmus+ Mobility Grant to Poznań University of Technology (PUT)
FIU Global is pleased to announce the call for applications for two (2) Erasmus+ mobilities with our European partner Poznań University of Technology (PUT), Poznań, Greater Poland Voivodeship, Poland.
The two mobilities for 2023-2024 which were awarded by the European Commission and the Polish national agency to PUT for FIU faculty and staff to travel to PUT can be for either teaching mobility or training mobility.
When applying, please ensure to specify which type of mobility (teaching OR training) you are applying to. Note that a teaching mobility will require eight (8) hours of speaking/teaching engagements, such as workshop, guest lecture, meeting with Ph.D. students, or the like to be planned by the applicant in coordination with PUT. Also, for the teaching mobility, per the Erasmus+ Inter-Institutional Agreement between FIU and PUT, the subjects are limited to those offered within PUT's faculties (Chemical Technology, Engineering Management, Environmental Engineering and Energy, Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering and Technical Physics, Civil and Transport Engineering, Computing and Telecommunications, Control, Robotics and Electrical Engineering, Architecture).
Conversely, for the training mobility, it would not be limited to any particular subject or discipline, and this could involve several active or passive engagements depending on the plan submitted by the applicant. For faculty applicants, teaching mobilities are strongly recommended; for staff applicants, training mobilities are recommended. In general, teaching mobilities are preferred and may receive priority.
The Erasmus+ mobility grant (whether teaching or training) is awarded for seven (7) days out of which a minimum of five (5) days must be on-sight at PUT, and two (2) days are slotted for travel (arrival/departure).
With your application, please outline your anticipated travel dates, as well. Travel has to be completed prior to July 31st, 2024 (07/31/2024) for this round of Erasmus+ mobility grants. Teaching mobilities are only possible during semesters, i.e. prior to June 15th, 2024 for AY 23-24.
In terms of eligibility, the applicant has to be a full-time FIU employee (no citizenship requirement). For teaching mobilities, only full-time faculty members (non-tenure-track, tenured, tenure-track) are eligible.
For the training mobility grant, any full-time FIU employee is eligible (administrative personnel, staff, faculty). Part-time employees, students, or adjunct faculty are not eligible for this Erasmus+ mobility grant.
