Sofia Corradi, the visionary behind the Erasmus Programme that has enabled millions of young people to study across Europe, has passed away at the age of 91 in Rome.

Professor Corradi, who taught Educational Sciences at Roma Tre University, was affectionately known as the “Mother of Erasmus” for her pioneering role in shaping one of Europe’s most influential academic exchange initiatives.

According to reports from the Italian press, her family described her as “a woman of boundless energy, intellectual brilliance, and deep generosity.”

Corradi’s inspiration for what would later become the Erasmus Programme came from her own experience as a student. After earning a Fulbright scholarship and completing a master’s degree in law at Columbia University in New York, she returned to Italy—only to find that her American degree was not recognized by the Italian education system. Determined to prevent others from facing similar barriers, she proposed the idea of a European student exchange initiative. Her vision became reality in 1987 when the European Union officially launched the Erasmus Programme.

Since then, the programme has grown into a cornerstone of European education and mobility. According to official EU data, more than 16 million students have taken part in Erasmus exchanges, promoting intercultural understanding and academic cooperation across the continent.

Born in Rome, Corradi also contributed to international research and advocacy on the right to education, working with institutions such as the United Nations Human Rights Committee, The Hague Academy of International Law, and the London School of Economics (LSE).

Tributes poured in following her passing. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani highlighted that Corradi “inspired millions of young people to explore, learn, and embrace different cultures.” French President Emmanuel Macron also paid homage, writing on social media, “Millions of students owe part of their lives to her vision.”

On October 23, 2025, an online collaboration meeting was held between Istanbul Gedik University and Marmara Technopark.

PERSONEL DERS VERME/ EĞİTİM ALMA HAREKETLİLİĞİ NEDİR?

Personel ders verme hareketliliği Türkiye’de ECHE sahibi bir yükseköğretim kurumunda ders vermekle yükümlü olan bir personelin, Programla İlişkili Olmayan Üçüncü Ülkedeki bir yükseköğretim kurumunda veya Programla İlişkili Olmayan Üçüncü Ülkedeki bir yükseköğretim kurumunda ders vermekle yükümlü olan bir personelin Türkiye’de ECHE sahibi bir yükseköğretim kurumunda öğrencilere ders vermesine ve ders vermeye ilişkin olarak karşı kurumla ortaklaşa akademik/eğitsel faaliyetler gerçekleştirmesine imkân sağlayan faaliyet alanıdır.

Personel eğitim alma hareketliliği Türkiye’de ECHE sahibi bir yükseköğretim kurumunda istihdam edilmiş herhangi bir personelin, Programla İlişkili Olmayan Üçüncü Ülkelerin birinde bir yükseköğretim kurumunda eğitim almasına veya Programla İlişkili Olmayan Üçüncü Ülkedeki bir yükseköğretim kurumunda istihdam edilmiş personelin Türkiye’de bir yükseköğretim kurumunda ya da işletmede eğitim almasına imkân sağlayan faaliyet alanıdır

PERSONEL DERS VERME/ EĞİTİM ALMA HAREKETLİLİĞİNDE SÜRELER

Personel ders verme hareketliliği için faaliyet süresi, seyahat hariç en az ardışık 5 gün (hafta sonu tatilleri ardışıklığı bozmaz) ve en fazla 2 ay olarak belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, faaliyetin geçerli bir faaliyet olarak değerlendirilebilmesi için en az 8 ders saati ders verilmesi zorunludur. Faaliyetin 1 haftadan uzun gerçekleştiği durumlarda, verilmesi gereken zorunlu ders saatinin süre ile orantılı olarak artması gerekmektedir. (örneğin, 1 hafta sürecek bir faaliyette 8 saat ders verilmesi zorunlu olduğundan, 2 hafta sürecek bir faaliyette en az 16 saat ders verilmesi gerekmektedir).

Ders verme ve eğitim alma faaliyetinin bir arada gerçekleştirildiği durumlarda, asgari ders verme süresi bir hafta ya da kısa süreli faaliyetler için 4 saattir. İşletmelerden ders vermek üzere davet edilen personel için faaliyet süresi en az 5 gündür ve asgari ders verme saati koşulu bulunmamaktadır. Personel ders verme hareketliliğinde, katılım sertifikasında katılımcının mücbir sebep dışında 5 günden az süre ile faaliyet gerçekleştirdiği ve/veya vermesi gerekenden daha az saat ders verdiğinin görüldüğü durumlarda, faaliyet geçersiz kabul edilir ve katılımcıya herhangi bir hibe ödemesi yapılmaz.

Personel eğitim alma hareketliliği için faaliyet süresi seyahat hariç en az ardışık 5 gün (hafta sonu tatilleri ardışıklığı bozmaz), en fazla 2 ay olarak belirlenmiştir. Personel eğitim alma hareketliliğinde, katılım sertifikasında katılımcının mücbir sebep dışında 5 günden az süre ile faaliyet gerçekleştirdiğinin görüldüğü durumlarda, faaliyet geçersiz kabul edilir ve katılımcıya herhangi bir hibe ödemesi yapılmaz.

Personel hareketliliği faaliyetleri, Türkiye Ulusal Ajansı (Merkez) ile imzalanan sözleşme bitiş tarihinden sonraya sarkamaz. 2023-1-TR01-KA171-HED-000167416 no’lu proje için sözleşme bitiş tarihi 31.07.2026’dır. Hareketliliğe seçilen personel en geç 31.07.2026 tarihinde hareketliliğini tamamlayıp yurda dönüş yapmış olmak durumundadır.

FAALİYET NASIL GERÇEKLEŞTİRİLMELİDİR?

Personel ders verme ve eğitim alma faaliyeti gün tabanlı bir faaliyettir ve sadece ders verme faaliyeti ile ilgili faaliyet gerçekleştirilen günleri ve seyahat günleri için hibe ödemesi yapılır. Bu nedenle Personel Ders Verme Hareketliliği Anlaşmasında (Staff Mobility For Teaching/Training- Mobility Agreement) ders verme/eğitim alma programının gün bazında belirtilmesi gerekmektedir.

Eğitim Alma faaliyetinin gerçekleştirileceği kurum ve faaliyet, kişinin istihdam edildiği mesleki alanıyla doğrudan ilişkili ve mesleki gelişimine katkıda bulunacak nitelikte olmalıdır

İSTANBUL GEDİK ÜNİVERSİTESİ, mevcut hibe ile daha fazla personelimizin hareketlilikten yararlanmasını sağlamak amacıyla Erasmus+ Uluslararası Kredi Hareektliliği (ICM) Personel Ders Verme/ Eğitim Alma Hareketliliği kapsamında hibe ödemesi yapılacak süreyi en fazla 1 hafta (5 gün Ders Verme/ Eğitim Alma + 2 gün gidiş-dönüş günleri olmak üzere azamî 7 gün) olarak sınırlandırmıştır.

ERASMUS+ PERSONEL HAREKETLİLİĞİNE KİMLER BAŞVURABİLİR?

Faaliyete katılacak personelin aşağıdaki asgari şartları sağlaması gerekmektedir:

· Personel hareketliliği gerçekleştirmek isteyen personelin üniversitemizde tam/yarı zamanlı olarak istihdam edilmiş ve fiilen görev yapmakta olan personel olması gerekir.

·Üniversitemizde istihdam edilmiş olan personel için kadro şartı aranmaz, üniversitemiz ile arasında sözleşme olan personel faaliyetlerden faydalanabilir.

· Kadrosu farklı bir kurumda olup da sözleşmeli olarak üniversitemizde çalışmakta olan personel, hareketliğe kadrosunun bulunduğu değil fiilen çalıştığı kurumda yani üniversitemizde başvurur. Hizmet alımı yolu ile yükseköğretim kurumunda istihdam edilen personel ile üniversitemiz arasında sözleşme olmadığından bu kişiler personel hareketliliğinden faydalanamaz.

Başvuru döneminde Ders Verme yükümlülüğü bulunan ve doktoralarını tamamlamış araştırma görevlileri faaliyetten “ders verme faaliyetinden” de faydalanabilirler.

SEÇİM ÖLÇÜTLERİ

Başvurular İSTANBUL GEDİK ÜNİVERSİTESİ Dış İlişkiler ve Erasmus Komisyonu tarafından değerlendirilecek olup değerlendirme aşamasında komisyon tarafından belirlenen ölçütler ve Ulusal Ajans tarafından belirtilen aşağıdaki ulusal öncelikler dikkate alınacaktır:

KONTENJANLAR VE HİBELER

Kontenjan sayısı tahmini olup; ikili anlaşmalarımızda yer alan kontenjan sayılarına, Ulusal Ajans’ın 2023 Sözleşme Dönemi Erasmus+ Programı (2023-1-TR01-KA171-HED-000167416 no’lu proje) Personel Ders Verme/Eğitim Alma bütçesi dâhilinde verilen hibe miktarına ve akademik birimlerdeki geçmiş hareketlilik sayılarına göre belirlenmiştir. 

Personel Ders Verme/ Eğitim Alma hareketliliği için hareketlilik kontenjanı 1 kişidir.

Hibe miktarları ise aşağıdaki gibi olup; personeller, istedikleri takdirde hibe almaksızın faaliyetlere katılabilirler. Hibesiz personeller de diğer başvurularla beraber genel değerlendirmeye tabi tutulur ve hibeli personellerle aynı süreçten geçer. Hibesiz personelin farkı, personelin bütçe hesaplamalarına dâhil edilmemesi ve kendisine ödeme yapılmamasıdır. Hibe alınmaması personelin seçim sürecine dâhil olmamasına gerekçe değildir.

PERSONEL BİREYSEL HİBE VE SEYAHAT DESTEĞİ

1. Ders Verme/ Eğitim Alma hareketliliğinden faydalanan yükseköğretim kurumu personelinin hak ettiği hibe hesabını personelin kendi yükseköğretim kurumu, Merkez tarafından belirlenen hibe hesaplama kuralları çerçevesinde yapar.

2. Ders Verme/ Eğitim Alma hareketliliğinden faydalanan personele verilen hibe, katkı niteliğinde olup yurt dışında geçirilen döneme ilişkin masrafların tamamını karşılamaya yönelik değildir.

3. Ders Verme/ Eğitim Alma hareketliliğinden faydalanan personele Merkez tarafından belirlenen kurallar çerçevesinde günlük/haftalık harcırah ile seyahat mesafesine göre, seyahat gideri ödemesi yapılır. Bu ödeme, yurt dışında geçirilen döneme ilişkin seyahat ve harcırah giderlerine bir katkı niteliğindedir. Seyahat gideri ödemesi, katılımcıların fiilen görev yaptığı üniversitenin yerleşik oldukları yerden faaliyet yerine gitmek ve dönmek için yaptıkları seyahat maliyetine katkı niteliğindedir.

Seyahatin başlangıç noktasının gönderen kuruluşun bulunduğu, faaliyetin gerçekleştirildiği yerin de ev sahibi kuruluşun bulunduğu yer olduğu varsayılır.
