Católica Medical School intends to provide its staff with opportunities for international mobility.

The Erasmus+ training mobility program allows you to undertake a period of training at a similar higher education institution, in an eligible country, and can benefit from a support grant.

OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of the ERASMUS scholarship for training are:

• Allow the acquisition of specialized knowledge based on experiences and good practices from similar European institutions;
• Allow the development of practical skills relevant to professional development;
• Contribute to the cooperation of higher education institutions and companies.

ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

• Participants must belong to the University, with an employment contract for an indefinite period. Exceptionally, and if duly substantiated, an employee with a fixed-term employment contract may be eligible for the program. Scholarship holders, employees in outsourcing or other types of contracts are not admitted to mobility.
• Participants can be employees or teachers with a dependent employment contract as long as the mobility is aimed at training.

DURATION OF MOBILITY

Training missions for UCP employees and teachers normally last three days (excluding travel days), with a minimum duration of two days.

MOBILITY GRANT

The amount of the grant is defined annually by the National Erasmus+ Education and Training Agency.

The amount to be considered varies depending on the country of destination, the duration of the mobility and includes:

1. Individual support: daily amount to support expenses related to accommodation, food, local transport, travel insurance, telecommunications, among others
2. Contribution to travel costs: The value of the "bandwidth", calculated using the European Commission's calculator, applies.

The grant will be paid via bank transfer, after submitting a complete application and after signing the Erasmus+ financial contract.
