Staff Mobility

Within the Lifelong Learning Programme, Erasmus, UiA offers the following programmes for staff members:

EU’s guidelines for the stipulation of the grant:

The grant for staff mobility for training and staff mobility for teaching is to cover travel expences and give financial aid to living expenses in the host country. The EU-commision’s rates for living expensives in the different countries must not be exceeded and one must also be aware of the fact that these, rates normally are lower than the rates in the Norwegian state’s travel regulations. While Norway has one rate for lodging and one for board, the EU has one rate which covers both board and lodging.

In connection with short stays and reasonable priced plane tickets (applies especially for staff mobility for teaching), you may experience that the one week grant will be less than 800 Euro while longer stays can exceed 800 Euro. This is acceptable and 800 Euro is only a norm of distribution used by the Centre for International Cooperation in Higher Education (SIU) because we do not know which countries staff will go to when the applications are being considered.
