Programs

Since 2018 IPPT PAN has been participating in Erasmus+ programme after being awarded by the European Commission with the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (for the years 2014-2020 and 2021-2027 respectively).

Erasmus+ is the European Union programme to support education, training, youth and sport activities. The programme has originated from the well-known European educational programmes such as Lifelong learning, Youth in Action, Erasmus Mundus or Tempus.

What are the benefits of participating in the Erasmus+ programme?

educational and training mobility for doctoral students,
training trips for academic and administrative staff,
visits by foreign employees and doctoral students,
cooperation with research centres in European and associated countries.

Mobility is carried out for educational or training purposes, and the scholarship is paid by the sending institution.

Where do we implement mobility programmes?

Currently, IPPT PAN cooperates with institutions from:

European Union's member states,
Countries associated with the programme: Iceland, Liechtensteinem, North Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, and Turkey.

Erasmus+ Horizontal Policies and Priorities

All mobility activities carried out at IPPT PAN are implemented in line with the priorities of the Erasmus+ program, which promote:

equality and non-discrimination – we ensure equal access to mobility for all participants, regardless of gender, background, religion, or social status.
inclusion and accessibility – participation in mobility programs is also open to people with disabilities or special needs.
sustainable development and environmental protection – we promote, among other things, travel using low-emission modes of transport (so-called “green travel”).

Additionally, mobility participants are encouraged to consciously observe and reflect on these priorities during their stay:

inclusion and diversity – observing how the host institution supports participants with different needs and backgrounds.
sustainable development and climate change – e.g., green travel practices, environmental stewardship in the workplace and in academic settings.
digital transformation in education, training, and research – e.g., the use of digital platforms, e-learning, and research tools.
participation in democratic life, shared values, civic engagement – e.g., community initiatives, community activities, educational projects.

Reflection does not imply an obligation to implement actions; it may involve observation, awareness, or a comparison of practices between the host and sending institutions.
