In order to participate in the Erasmus+ program, a bilateral agreement must be concluded between Trnava University and the host university. Check whether such an agreement exists in this list (link to the Cooperation and Partnerships section) or via the interactive map. If no agreement exists but you have a contact at the host university and can arrange cooperation, contact the TRUNI International Office (international@truni.sk), which will help you establish a bilateral agreement.

In the case of training, it is not necessary to have a bilateral agreement between the host university and TRUNI, but it is recommended. Check whether cooperation in training exists. If there is no agreement, but you have a contact at the host university and can arrange cooperation, contact the TRUNI International Office (international@truni.sk), which will help you establish a bilateral agreement. Further steps on how to proceed with Erasmus+ mobility can be found here (link to the Apply – Tech or Learn abroad section).

3. If the selection procedure is successful, discuss your mobility (teaching or training) with the contact person at the host university or institution.

You are responsible for organizing and implementing your mobility.

4. Follow the instructions of your faculty/rector's office when reporting your business trip, while also informing the department that processes business trip expense reports and following its instructions. The same procedure applies as for other foreign business trips, i.e., approval must be obtained from the head of the department and the faculty or rector's office.

5. Fill in all the documents necessary to conclude the Erasmus+ individual grant agreement, namely:

• Mobility agreement (completed and signed by all three parties involved, the host and sending universities). The document can be found in the Important Documents section (link to the Truni international – Important Documents section).

• Commercial health insurance for travel abroad for the duration of your mobility.

• A completed and signed form with your bank account details.

5. The IRO (International Relations and Mobility Office) will prepare an Erasmus+ individual agreement, which you will sign in person.

6. You will receive your Erasmus+ grant.

7. You travel and complete your mobility.

8. Don't forget to have the Certificate of Attendance form confirmed by the host institution (link to the Truni international section – Important documents).

9. After your return, send the confirmed Certificate of Attendance form (link to the Truni international – Important documents section) to the TRUNI international department by email or in person to office 13 on the ground floor of the rector's office within five working days.

Also send the Travel Report to the department (link to the Truni international – Important documents section) that is processing your business trip.

10. Fill out the questionnaire that you will automatically receive by email shortly before the end of your mobility. This is a mandatory questionnaire.

11. Share your experience with the Erasmus+ program through a short story that we can share on our website and social networks.

Training under the Erasmus+ program can be understood as:

• Training/job shadowing at the host university department (e.g., an employee of the study department visits the study department of the host university and learns how the processes work on their side, what positive aspects could be introduced at the home university, or, for example, a teacher of a specific field visits and familiarizes themselves with the issues of the same/similar field at the host university). a teacher of a specific subject visits and familiarizes themselves with the issues of the same/similar subject at the host university.

• Training organized by an educational institution – it does not have to be a university, but the institution must be listed on the ECHE card. Such training may focus, for example, on presentation skills, new developments in education, or language courses. However, participants should be aware that in this case, the institution usually charges a fee.

• Staffweek organized by a foreign university. It is a week of training and workshops focused on a specific topic. Participants meet colleagues from different countries, exchange experiences, gain new knowledge, and establish cooperation. The program may include professional training, sharing of good practices, seminars, or job shadowing. A list of organized Staffweek events can be found on this website.

• BIP (Blended Intensive Program) is a short-term intensive program that combines face-to-face mobility abroad with online collaboration. It usually consists of a 5-day event and an online meeting (1-3 hours) before and after the event. As with staff week, it consists of a week of training and workshops focused on a specific topic. Participants meet colleagues from different countries, exchange experiences, gain new knowledge, and establish cooperation. The program may include professional training, sharing of good practices, seminars, or job shadowing.
