Requirements for Partipation

In order to participate in the Erasmus + Program, an essential requirement is the possession of the ECHE Card (ERASMUS CHARTER FOR HIGHER EDUCATION). UNIPI received the Erasmus + Chart in 2014, since then it has committed itself to respecting the fundamental principles of European programs and their values. The eligible countries are divided into two groups: the countries participating in the program and the partner countries. While the program countries can participate in all actions of the Erasmus + program, the partner counties can only take part in some of them and they are subject to specific conditions.

Publication of Call for Proposal

Every year the European Commission publishes a call in October in which are indicated the priorities of the program and the available funding. Higher Education Institutions can participate by submitting a single University application.

Choice of the Partners

The University of Pisa presents its application on the basis of the declarations of interest received from professors of different departments and on the basis of previous experiences of cooperation.

Evaluation

The applications of the different Universities are evaluated by the National Erasmus + INDIRE Agency according to the criteria established by the European Commission and common to all of the National Agencies of the Countries participating in the program. If the application is approved, the organization becomes an Erasmus + beneficiary. It will receive the agreement with all its attachments, the pre-financing and it will be able to start the project activities.

Implementation or Management

Once the agreement has been signed, the Partner is promptly informed and the Inter-Institutional Agreement is signed. IIA describes the mobility activity that will be carried out, indicating the number of students, teachers, staff, subject areas and the duration of the mobility. Without this agreement it is not possible to carry out the Erasmus+ mobility project. The agreement must be filled, signed, stamped and dated by both institutions. On the basis of specific calls, students and staff will be selected for mobility.
