D. Respect of fundamental principles and other mobility requirementsThe higher education institution(s) located in a Programme Country of Erasmus+ must respect the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education of which it must be a holder. The charter can be found here: https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus-plus/actions/erasmus-charter en

The higher education institution(s) located in a Partner Country of Erasmus+ must respect the following set of principles and requirements:

The higher education lnstitution agrees to:

• Respect in full the principles of non-discrimination and to promote and ensure equal access and opportunitles to mobile participants from all backgrounds, in particular disadvantaged or vulnerable groups.

• Apply a selection process that is fair, transparent and documented, ensuring equal opportunities to participants eligible for mobility.

• Ensure recognition for satisfactorily completed activities of study mobility and, where possible, traineeships of its mobile students.

• Charge no fees, in the case of credit mobility, to incoming students for tuition, registration, examinations or access to laboratory and llbrary facilitles. Nevertheless, they may be charged small fees on the same basis as local students for costs such as insurance, student unions and the use of miscellaneous material.

The higher education institution located in a Partner Country of Erasmus+ further undertakes to:

Before mobility

• Provide informatlon on courses (content, level, scope, language) well in advance of the mobility periods, so as to be transparent to all parties and allow mobile students to make welHnformed choices about the courses they will follow.

• Ensure that outbound mobile participants are well prepared for the mobility, including having attained the necessary level of linguistic proficiency.

• Ensure that student and staff mobility for educatlon or training purposes is based on a learning agreement for students and a mobility agreement for staff validated in advance between the sending and receiving institutions or enterprlses and the mobile participants.

• Provide assistance related to obtaining visas, when required, for incoming and outbound mobile particlpants. Costs for visas can be covered with the mobility grants. See the information / visa section for contact details.

• Provide assistance related to obtaining insurance, when required, for incomlng and outbound mobile participants. The institution from the Partner Country should lnform mobile participants of cases in which insurance cover ls not automatically provlded. Costs for insurance can be covered with the organisational support grants. See the information / lnsurance section for contact details.

• Provide guidance to incoming mobile participants in finding accommodation. See the information / housing section for contact details.

4

During and after mobility

• Ensure equal academlc treatment and services for home students and staff and lncoming mobile participants and integrate lncoming mobile participants into the Jnstitution's everyday life, and have in place approprlate mentoring and supportarrangements for mobile participants as well as appropriate llnguistic support to incoming mobile participants.

'! Accept alt actívities indlcated ln the learning agreement as counting towards the degree, provided these have been satisfactorily completed by the mobile student.

• Provide, free-of-charge, lncomlng mobile students and their sending institutions with transcripts in English or in the language of the sending institution containing a full, accurate and timely record of their achievements at the end of their mobility period.

• Support the reintegration of mobile participants and give them the opportunity, upon return, to build on their experíences for the benefit of the Institution and their peers.

• Ensure that staff are given recognition for their teaching and training activities undertaken during the mobility period, based on a mobility agreement.
