(Additional Announcement) Applications for the 2024 Project Year Startup Higher Education Mobility Consortium (2024-1-TR01-KA131-HED-000235865) Erasmus+ Student Mobility for Traineeship Have Started

Our university plans to conduct student exchanges with European Union member states within the scope of the 2024 Project Year Erasmus+  Student Mobility for Traineeship Program under the Startup Higher Education Mobility Consortium. Among the candidates who meet the criteria in line with the available quotas, 2 students will be selected to benefit from the activity. Applicants for student internship mobility will be granted a grant support for 60 calendar days, with 70% of the total grant paid as the initial installment. The relevant project period will end on 31 July 2026, and all mobility activities must be completed by 27 July 2026. Our university will allocate a total of 2 quotas for students applying from each faculty/institute/vocational school. The 2 selected students will receive grants from the 2024 Project Year Consortium Project. In the event that applications are received from every faculty/institute/vocational school, a selection process may be conducted among these units. Students who wish to participate without a grant may still benefit from the mobility, provided that they meet the necessary criteria. Students also retain the right to waive their grant entitlement, should they choose to do so.

Applications will be submitted via (https://turnaportal.ua.gov.tr/). Students who wish to apply for the Erasmus+ Student Mobility for Traineeship must first log in to the application link through E-Government (E-Devlet) and access the announcement titled "(Additional Call) Kayseri University 2024 Project Year Erasmus+ Startup Higher Education Mobility Consortium Student Internship Mobility Applications Have Started.''
