Students and staff selection

The sending institution is responsible for choosing its outgoing students through fair and transparent selection, as envisaged in the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education, awarded to UniTrento, to which principles partner institutions have to comply with. Student and staff must apply at their home university in accordance with timing and procedures established by the sending institution.  Partner universities are responsible for selection and nomination of students mobility using the online nomination tool provided to IROs by UniTrento, respecting the deadline indicated above.

Academic staff can either undergo a formal selection or call, or be directly nominated as the referent of the agreement.  The nominated faculty must have agreed upon a teaching project of at least 10 hours or a training one, with an UniTrento faculty of the same academic area.

Full transparency in the dissemination and selection process must be proved by partners, that are asked to send to UniTrento all formal documents relating to the students' selection (emails, screenshots of websites, posters etc). The Declaration of sending institution (see download box at the bottom right of the page) is to be filled out for each mobility participant and attached to the nomination.

Within 2 months from their return, students will have to send to UniTrento the home university transcript of records proving the credit transfer.

In case there is no official recognition in the transcript of records, partner universities are required to fill out the "Credit transfer declaration" document (available in the download box) and send it to UniTrento International Office asap. 

Erasmus+ visibility

All activities organized in the frame of Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility (students' selection calls, emails of dissemination, teaching material, and so on) must clearly show the ER+ logo (available in the download box).

Dissemination and information activities will be carried out by partners universities as agreed within the partnership Guide for dissemination (available in the download box).

Sustainability

UniTrento encourages the students to adopt a responsible behavior towards the environment around us. We highly recommend, if you have the chance, to choose an eco-friendlier transport on your way yo UniTrento (using for example the train). Opting for the green travel you will receive up to 6 days of additional individual support to cover travel days for a return trip.

Once you arrive in Trento, we invite you to reduce your environmental impact. Check out our green guide where you will be able to write, in the shared padlet, your own suggestions. And do not forget to visit the university page dedicated to a sustainable international mobility!
