Staff mobility for teaching can be performed in the member as well as non-member EU countries as follows: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malta, Malta, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

Mobility in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland must be at least 5 days long!

The recommended length of the teaching mobility is 5 working days. In justified cases, it is possible to carry out a shorter stay of at least 2 consecutive working days, excluding travel. The maximum length of stay is 2 months. However, it is necessary for you to teach at least 8 teaching hours (for 2 - 5 working days). The minimum number of teaching hours for mobilities exceeding 5 working days is calculated as follows: number of working days x 1.6

Agreements

The financial support is composed out of two parts, one to support the travel costs and the other for accommodation.

In the case of virtual mobility, there is no entitlement to financial support.

The means are calculated in the maximum expected amount. In case of exceeding, it is necessary to secure an additional source of funding at the relevant institute/workplace.

By April 2025, all visitors who do not need a visa, except British and Irish citizens, will need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) – a digital permission to travel to the UK.

ETA is extending in two phases:

• Eligible non-Europeans can apply in advance from 27 November 2024 and will need an ETA to travel to the UK from 8 January 2025.
• Eligible Europeans can apply from 5 March 2025 and will need an ETA to travel to the UK from 2 April 2025.

Visitors can find out when they will need an ETA here:  Check when you can get an electronic travel authorisation (ETA) - GOV.UK (publishing.service.gov.uk)

An ETA costs £10 and permits multiple journeys to the UK of up to six months at a time over two years or until the holder’s passport expires – whichever is sooner.

You can find all the important information in the document HERE.

The combined stay combines an educational stay and training within one mobility, which can be carried out at one or more eligible institutions in the destination country.

The blended intensive program (BIP) is a specific type of employee mobility, including a mandatory virtual component in combination with physical mobility to foreign institutions. This type of mobility is linked to a separate, pre-approved project application, involving at least three institutions from three program countries, which must be linked by interinstitutional agreements.

The length of the mobility (excluding travel days) is at least 5 and at the most 30 days of physical mobility and any non-zero number of days of the virtual mobility.
