Staff Mobility for Training is a field of activity that allows a staff member employed at an ECHE holder higher education institution in Turkey to receive training in one of the program countries. Within the scope of this activity, it is possible for a staff to participate in various training sessions (such as on the job trainings, observations) to improve their skills regarding their current profession.
Participation in conferences are not supported as part of the activity.
Within the scope of Staff Mobility for Training, it is also possible for a staff who is employed at an ECHE holder higher education institution to go to an ECHE holder higher education institution or foundation to receive training. The foundation where staff will receive the training can be an overseas education center, research center, higher education institution or any other institution fitting the definition of foundation.
Within this framework, a fitting foundation means an enterprise that performs all kinds of economic activities including social economies with all private or public institutions/establishments regardless of size, legal status and economic sector of operation. Staff Mobility for Training is a full-time activity, and the grant is paid for the periods of full-time training. Therefore, the training schedule must be specified on the basis of days in the Staff Mobility for Training- Mobility Agreement.

Calculation of Travel Expenses
The amount of travel expenses to be paid to the staff benefiting from Staff Mobility for Training should be calculated using “Distance Calculator”. The distance calculator can be accessed from the link down below:
http://ec.europa.eu/programmes/erasmus-plus/tools/distance_en.htm
Using the distance calculator, the km value of the two points, from the place where the personnel is located to the place of activity should be determined and the travel grant should be calculated using the table below.
The grant equivalent of the km, which is calculated in the distance calculator, in the following table is the round trip amount, and it is not multiplied by two.
Traveling with connected flights does not affect the distance that is found with the above-mentioned calculation.
| Calculated "KM" | Regular Travel Grant (Euro) |
Green Travel Grant (Euro) |
| Between 10-99 KM | 20 | - |
| Between 100 - 499 KM | 180 | 210 |
| Between 500 - 1999 KM | 275 | 320 |
| Between 2000 - 2999 KM | 360 | 410 |
| Between 3000 - 3999 KM | 530 | 610 |
| Between 4000 - 7999 KM | 820 | - |
| Between 8000 KM and above | 1500 | - |

Furthermore, documents and invoices showing the starting and ending points of travel are kept in staff’s file to be submitted in potential audits.
