Teachers and staff

Erasmus+ enables academic and non-academic staff of JAMU to travel abroad – to teach, train or share experiences at partner institutions and cultural organisations across Europe. These mobilities help to develop professional skills, gain new perspectives on teaching and the administration of art schools and strengthen JAMU’s international cooperation.

• Sharing experiences and inspiration for teaching and artistic creation,
• development of linguistic and intercultural competences,
• strengthening of international relations and cooperation of JAMU,
• transfer of new knowledge into teaching, projects and management of the institution.

They can participate in:

• JAMU academic staff (teachers, PhD students involved in teaching),
• administrative and support staff,
• other employees as approved by the management of the faculty or unit of JAMU.

Each participant must be employed by JAMU (or have another contractual relationship according to the Labour Code). The travel is approved by the employee’s direct supervisor (or the management of the units or JAMU).

• Physical mobility: 2 days to 2 months (5 days including travel recommended),
• Combined mobility: physical part + online teaching or training,
• Minimum duration of instruction (STA only): 8 hours per week.

JAMU staff travel within the Erasmus+ programme is governed by:

• valid Travel Allowance Directive No 34/2018,
• relevant provisions and decrees of the Labour Code,
• and the Erasmus+ rules.

The principles governing reimbursement of travel expenses are expediency, economy and proper supporting documents. Entitlement to travel reimbursement includes, inter alia, travel, accommodation, meals and necessary incidental expenses, the specific amount being determined according to the length of the stay and the destination.

Erasmus+ trips for teachers or staff are governed by the academic year, so you need to apply in advance.

Procedure after mobility approval:

1. completing a Travel Order and obtaining approval from the Head of Department,
2. agreement on transport and accommodation in accordance with the principle of economy (Article 3(2) of the Directive),
3. conclusion and approval of a Teaching/Training Agreement between JAMU and the receiving institution,
4. a request for an advance on travel expenses (up to a maximum of the estimated expenditure under Section 9 of the Directive),
5. issuing the Erasmus+ Grant Agreement and signing it at External Relations Department of the Rector’s Office of JAMU.

Without exception, the internal application for the following academic year must be submitted to the Foreign Department of the Faculty of Arts/HF JAMU by the date set by them.

1. Submission of the travel allowance statement with original documents within 10 working days of return (§ 22 of the Directive),
2. Presentation of a Certificate of Attendance or Confirmation of Mobility confirming the stay,
3. completing the EU Survey (the final Erasmus+ online report, which looks like spam at first glance, but is not spam),
4. conclusion of mobility and settlement of travel reimbursements at the cash desk of the Rector’s Office of JAMU.
