Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility
Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (ICM) funds short term student mobility and staff mobility between EU and Non-EU countries. Bilateral agreements are signed centrally with the universities which get funded by the 3-year Erasmus+ICM project.
UT Erasmus+ ICM committee selects the partners based on cooperation requests from UT institutes. Selected partners are included in the general ICM Project application.
Partnership selection criteria:
a) developing sustainable cooperation with long-standing, reputable partners, including the University of Tartu’s existing institutional partners/bilateral partners;
b) diversity and broad inclusion, enabling staff from as many units as possible to participate in the mobility project, including those staff members who have not received funding in previous calls for proposals;
c) the content and quality of the cooperation description submitted during the application phase of the mobility project;
d) effective use of mobility grants requested in earlier project periods;
e) balance of mobility between partner institutions.
