Erasmus Program

                                                   

The Erasmus+ program, established with EU Regulation no. 1288/2013 of the European Parliament and the Council, represents the new EU instrument dedicated to the fields of education, training, youth, and sport for the period 2021 – 2027.

ERASMUS PROGRAM 2022-2023

Erasmus activity for the 2022-2023 a.y. (individual moblity and strategic partnership) are included in the Erasmun program 2021-2027, for which the Univeristy has obtained:

 

Individual Mobility Programs (Key Action 1 – KA1) with Program Countries – EU member countries, EFTA / EEA countries, Republic of Macedonia (KA 103)

The university encourages internationalisation through the Individual Mobility Programs provided and listed below.

In compliance with the principles of non-discrimination and inclusion and with a principle of transparency in the selection process of participants in mobility, the university provides for the following individual mobility activities (the procedures for which are listed below).

 

TEACHER MOBILITY

Erasmus+ Teaching Staff (outgoing and incoming) – possibility for teachers to carry out short periods of teaching at foreign universities (outgoing) and to welcome foreign teachers for short periods of teaching at UNISG (incoming).

Considering the limited number of university professors, the selection process for teacher mobility for teaching and/or training will be evaluated directly by the Rector, Pro Rector, the Director of Research and Third Mission and the Erasmus Office, according to alternation criteria (over the years) and merit criteria.

These criteria will be applied once the Erasmus Office has received all the notifications of interest from those interested in going abroad (request must be received five months before the beginning of the academic year in which the teacher intends to go abroad).

Example: If the teacher wants to go abroad in the academic year 2021/2022, the reference period in which to do this is from 01/06/2021 to 31/09/2022 and the deadline for sending notifications of interest is 31/01/2021.

The notification email of interest must be sent to: erasmus@unisg.it

The country where the teacher wants to go must be an EU member country, EFTA / EEA country or the Republic of Macedonia.

 

STAFF MOBILITY

Erasmus+ Training Staff (outgoing) – possibility for technical-administrative staff to carry out short training periods abroad.

The request for participation in an individual training period abroad will be evaluated by the Administrative Director and the manager of the relevant office. A criterion of alternation between the different offices (over the years) and strategic motivation for the foreign experience will be used for the purpose of increasing specific, personal, and professional skills useful to the university.

The interested person must send an email containing the following information:

  • Subject of the email: “NOTIFICATION OF INTEREST – ERASMUS TRAINING MOBILITY – surname + name”
  • Extended motivation for the request for individual training abroad
  • Institution/body where the training is to be carried out
  • Country (must be between EU member countries, EFTA / EEA countries, Republic of Macedonia)
  • Period (month and year) and duration of stay abroad (in days)
  • Motivational letter

The  notification email of interest must be sent to the Administrative Director (direzione@unisg.it) and in cc to the manager of the reference office; erasmus@unisg.it and ufficio_personale@unisg.it

Deadline: the notification of interest must be sent within five months before the start of the reference period.

Example: If you want to go abroad in the academic year 2021/2022, the reference period in which to carry out mobility is from 01/06/2021 to 31/09/2022 and the deadline for sending notifications of interest is 31/01/2021.

 

STUDENT MOBILITY

Erasmus+ Traineeship (outgoing) – possibility for students to carry out internships in companies, training and research centres present in one of the countries participating in the program.

Student mobility for internship purposes will be introduced starting from the academic year 2020/2021 and will be reserved only for students of the master’s degree program (n = 5 scholarships).

The study program and the organization of teaching activities do not currently provide for the access of UNISG students to European mobility programs. This is due to the fact that the university has already placed the topic of international student mobility and, more generally, internationalisation, at the heart of its training since its foundation. In fact, all study courses include numerous experiences abroad, through “study trips”, and a continuous development of intercultural exchange, through the high degree of internationality of the students. All degree programs are strongly characterized by the maturation of international experiences and by the interaction with communities and territories outside our borders.

Academic Year 2022/2023

For the academic year 2022/2023 there will be 5 Erasmus scholarships (n = 5) for internship to be awarded to students of the second year of the Graduate degree program.

Erasmus+ Learning (outgoing and incoming) – currently not foreseen

In order to carry out the individual mobility of teachers and students, the university must activate a bilateral agreement with the host/sending institution. Bilateral agreements are agreements with partner universities for the mobility of students and professors. A bilateral agreement is a cooperation agreement signed between two universities in possession of the Erasmus charter for Higher Education (ECHE), which makes international mobility possible within the Erasmus+ Program in force starting from 2014. The activation of a new bilateral agreement takes place at the request of a university professor. Each agreement describes the initiatives and mobilities flows to be implemented, including the number of students and/or teachers, the subject areas and the duration of the stay abroad.
