Incoming Erasmus+ Staff Mobility from Partner Countries (KA171)

Infomation before Nomination

We are very pleased that you are considering an Erasmus+ staff mobility at Marburg University for teaching or training purposes.

If you are planning a stay, you can apply for Erasmus+ funding through the International Office of Marburg University after you have successfully arranged the academic or administrative content of your visit with a colleague or professor at our university.

Please note that the International Office only administers funding applications. We are unfortunately not able to assist with identifying contacts or arranging academic cooperation on a personal level. These steps must be completed independently in advance.

Below you will find an overview of the process:

  • 1. Contact an academic host Marburg University 

    Please independently contact a professor or staff member at the Marburg University whose academic field matches your area of work and with whom you would like to collaborate during your Erasmus+ stay (e.g. for teaching or job shadowing).

    In most cases, there is already an existing cooperation between departments and you can refer to known contacts within this framework.

    Once you have agreed on the content of your visit, please ask your host for a preliminary invitation letter, indicating the planned period and topic of the stay.

    Please note: This invitation letter does not constitute a confirmation of Erasmus+ funding.

  • 2. Apply through your home institution 

    Please submit your application for an Erasmus+ staff mobility at your home university, either through a formal call or through internal procedures and include the invitation letter from Marburg.

    If your application is successful, your home university will officially nominate you to the International Office of Marburg University for Erasmus+ funding.

  • 3. Application and funding process at the University of Marburg 

    Once we receive your official nomination (at least 8 weeks before the planned start of your stay), we will contact you directly and provide all necessary application documents for the Erasmus+ funding.

    These documents include:

    − A formal invitation letter (to be signed again by your host in Marburg)

    − The Mobility Agreement, outlining the content and programme of your stay (to be signed by you, your home institution and your host in Marburg)

    − A Declaration on Green Travel (optional), which can be submitted if you travel by environmentally friendly means such as train or bus and wish to apply for additional funding

    After all documents have been submitted, we will calculate your funding and send you the Grant Agreement, including all financial details.

    You will need to sign this agreement and return it together with a copy of your passport.

    We will then arrange an appointment with you for the payment of the Erasmus+ funding, which is usually made in cash (by cheque) on your first day of stay in Marburg.

  • 4. After your stay 

    After completing your mobility, the following documents must be submitted:

    − A Letter of Confirmation, signed by your host in Marburg, confirming the duration of your stay

    − An EU Survey, which will be sent to you automatically via email

Important Information

  • The mobility must last at least 5 working days.
  • We additionally fund up to 2 travel days for standard travel.
  • For green travel, additional travel days may be funded (based on a declaration of environmentally friendly travel).
  • Please note that participants are responsible for organising and pre-financing their travel (e.g. flights) and accommodation for the duration of their stay.
