- assessment of the training objectives (clearly formulated and training-related objectives – the purpose of the mobility is to acquire specific knowledge and/or skills; a training objective does not include information and promotion or organizational activities, e.g. signing an agreement or discussing the terms of cooperation, widely understood exchange of experiences): 0-3 points

The score is added by the IRD after the faculty qualification report is delivered.
If the additional score does not determine the allocation of places on the ranking list, the order of names on the protocol is decisive. - It is not allowed to submit applications with identical content of MA: PROPOSED MOBILITY PROGRAMME by two/several employees, as well as applications from the same employee submitted in previous years (even if the mobility was not implemented).

- STT training mobilities can be carried out starting from 01/05/2023 for the basic qualification and from 02/01/2024 for the additional qualification and by 30/06/2024.
Mobilities not completed within the limits by 31/12/2023 are transferred to the reserve, together with the funds allocated to them. - The mobility must be carried out in accordance with the rules set out in the Erasmus+ Programme Guide and with the guidelines of the National Agency of the programme in Poland (NA) – Foundation for the Development of the Education System (FDES).
- All mobility documents are submitted in the original version to the IRD and through DreamApply system; documents should not be sent via EZD.
-
- The limit of STT mobilities for non-academic staff is 19 in total.
- Employees interested in the mobility apply for the STT mobility qualification by filling in an on-line application form in the DreamApply system (DA) and submitting it within the deadlines set for the basic and additional qualifications. The basic qualification takes place between 13/02 and 13/03/2023. Additional qualification will be conducted only in the case of vacancies between 02/10 and 30/10/2023.
- In the application referred to in point 9, the employee is obliged to use their work e-mail address.

- It is possible to qualify no more than 2 employees of the same unit for mobility to one host institution to achieve a similar goal.
- The IRD sends information to employees of the US administrative units by e-mail about the possibility of applying for STT training mobilities and publishes this information on the IRD websites, allowing all eligible employees equal access to information.
- Qualification is conducted by a committee of at least three people, including the vice-rector responsible for international cooperation.
- If the application form under assessment is the one of an employee who is also a member of the selection committee, this person leaves the committee for the time the application is assessed, and the committee is then supplemented by an appointed person.
- The qualification is based on the assessment of the content of the Individual Training Programme (Mobility Agreement – Staff Mobility for Training; MA), section PROPOSED MOBILITY PROGRAMME, described by the employee in the application form according to the following point scale:
- assessment of the training objectives (clearly formulated and training-related objectives – the purpose of the mobility is to acquire specific knowledge and/or skills; a training objective does not include information and promotion or organizational activities, e.g. signing an agreement or discussing the terms of cooperation, widely understood exchange of experiences): 0-3 points
- assessment of the justification regarding the relationship between the training and the employee’s position.
- assessment of the justification for the connection between training activity and developing teaching skills and/or designing curricula (in the case of administrative staff, such a relationship is not indicated in the application form)
- assessment of the added value of the mobility (in the context of the modernisation and internationalisation strategies of the institutions involved): not scored (not demonstrating the added value in the context of the modernization or internationalization strategies is equivalent to an incorrectly submitted application),
- assessment of the content of the training programme (e.g. the feasibility of performing the tasks set):
- the mobility is implemented solely for training purposes – lack of clear evidence of this fact means 0 points for the entire programme and rejection of the application – 0-1 points,

- detailed description of activities related to the training (taking into account the division into training days and working time efficiency) – 0-3 points,
- assessment of the feasibility of full implementation of the presented programme 0-1 points,
- assessment of the expected results (what and how the participant will implement after the mobility: 0-2 points, possibility to train other employees or implement the results: 0-1 points): 0-3 points.
Applications which cannot be awarded a minimum of 1 point for the assessment of the training objectives and a minimum of 1 point for the assessment of the relationship between the mobility and the employee’s position and a minimum of 9 points in total will be rejected.
- Incorrectly submitted applications will not be assessed.
- The assessed substantive content of MA and the planned duration of the mobility cannot be changed once the qualification has been completed.

The score is added by the International Relations Department (IRD) after the faculty qualification report is delivered.
If the additional score does not determine the allocation of places on the ranking list, the order of names on the protocol is decisive. - Applications with the same content of the MA: PROPOSED MOBILITY PROGRAMME for different mobilities of the same employee (including mobilities already realized in previous years) or submitted by two or more employees will be rejected.
- As a result of the qualification, the IRD creates a protocol of the central qualification including all the candidates taking part in the qualification and a ranking list of the qualified persons according an approved template in electronic form in two variants:
- Excel file generated on the basis of data from DA system,
- in the form of an e-mail in which the protocol is a pasted section (not attached) with pre-completed confirmations from the entire committee
