Summary
Project is funded by the European Commission through EDUFI. Erasmus + KA103 mobility project consist of mobility grants for students, interns, teachers and other staff members for mobility periods to Erasmus+ programme countries. JYU car-ries out these mobilities annually with some 240 Erasmus+ partner universities with which it has concluded an Inter-institutional exchange agreements. Each university provides mobility grants only for the outgoing mobility. In addition to individual mobility grants, Erasmus+ KA103 programme gives also some financial support for the organization of mobilities. Funding is applied for and granted for one academic year at a time. The grant period is June 1, 2020 - September 30, 2021. This project funding is crucial for the implementation of student and staff mobility: during the last years over 60% of outgoing student mobility has been carried out. The received funding is based on the implemented Erasmus+ mobility volumes of two previous academic years, on the overall level of Erasmus+ mobility funding for Finland and on the agreed fixed monthly grants for mobile students. Institutional contribution level is not fixed or required by the EC. Universities can apply for additional mobility funds in the middle of the project period and consequently the final level of KA103 funding for our university will not be known until late Spring 2021 when we have received results of the eventual additional funding requests.
