Procedure
-
You will first need to select an AgroParisTech Erasmus+ partner institution and contact a faculty member there to ask whether they would be willing to host you as a guest lecturer in one of the institution’s teaching departments (master’s level courses).
-
If they accept, you can contact Nicolas Pokrovsky at the Department for International and European Relations (nicolas.pokrovsky@agroparistech.fr), who will assess the feasibility of the project (as very few grants are actually available under this program) and provide you with a list of documents to complete before your trip (one of which is the Teaching Agreement).
-
Funds for travel and accommodation under the STA program are disbursed after returning from the assignment, upon provision of documents serving as proof of the teacher’s expenditures (a list of which will be provided), in accordance with the following scale (subject to modification):
