Programme Goals 

MTU’s Erasmus+ Charter 2021-2027 aims to build what we have completed so far.  

The Programme Priorities are as follows: 

• To be more inclusive. 
• To become more digital. 
• To be more environmentally friendly. 

The Programmes Goals for Higher Education include: 

• Continued promotion of interconnectedness. 
• To stimulate innovative learning. 
• To reward excellence in teaching. 
• To build inclusive systems. 
• To support digital capabilities.  

Erasmus+ Staff mobility is a key element of MTU's International activity. Erasmus teaching mobilities provide opportunities for the strengthening of relationships with partner institutions and create mobility options for students. Staff training and job shadowing visits provide staff development opportunities in an international setting.  

Where can you go? 

By clicking on the Erasmus Partner Institutions List, you will see the institutions with which MTU has signed Erasmus+ exchange agreements and the study areas which are included in the agreement. 
You can apply to visit a selected partner institution, depending on which departments are included in the bilateral exchange agreement.  

Staff Mobility Funding 

MTU staff going on an Erasmus mobility receive an amount per day which is determined by the country of destination. Please see the below table to see how much you will receive per day:  

Included in the total Erasmus grant amount is a one of payment which is intended to cover most, but not all, the costs associated with getting to your host country. This amount is calculated based on the distance you are travelling from MTU (Cork/Tralee) to the city/ town of your host institution. 

As of now, all of MTU’s Erasmus partners fall within the above distance bands. In the rare event that you are completing an Erasmus mobility and travelling outside of these distances, the correct travel support amount will be added to your Erasmus grant.
