Training period abroad at higher education institutions or any public or private organisation active in the labour market or in the fields of education, training and youth.

Staff may participate in organized training events, such as international Erasmus weeks (cf. IMOTION plataform) or job shadowing and observation periods. Participation in conferences is not financed.

Agreements between two or more institutions in which scientific areas, type, quantity and duration of mobility flows are defined.

The IIA list is available at Universidade Aberta’s Webportal, in the Internationalization area. New agreements can be celebrated by invitation from European HEIs or by Universidade Aberta’s initiative (demonstration of interest originating from departments/degree coordinators/professors).

The IIA are celebrated through a digital platform according to the guidelines of the Erasmus without Paper Initiative.

The mobilities for training do no require the existence of an Erasmus Agreement

Staff wishing to participate must follow these steps:

• Fill out the Mobility Agreement for Training which must be signed by the participant, the Erasmus+ responsible at the host institution and the rector of Universidade Aberta as home institution (digital signatures are accepted);
• Send the filled Mobility Agreement to the Communication and International Relations Office (GCRI) – gcri@uab.pt, together with the fiscal identification number (NIF), necessary for the preparation of the Erasmus+ Contract.
