Mobility Tool+: Differences KA103/KA107
Informal NA meeting, 18 November 2015
Erasmus+
MT+ Difference between KA103 and KA107
General
• Beneficiary HEI reports on behalf of partner HEI(s)
• Erasmus Code mandatory only if sending/receiving organisation = Programme Country
Student Mobility (SMS)
• No mobility for traineeships
• No top-up grants for students from disadvantaged backgrounds
• Mobilities flagged as Zero Grant do not automatically trigger OS
 If "Zero Grant" flag set to 'Yes': flag "OS Covered by Erasmus+ EU Funds" becomes available
• Additional OS funds to be requested to and approved by NA
• "Extension": indicates extension by a non-funded duration in days (non-funded = not funded by
Erasmus+ EU funds (i.e. zero grant))
• If mobility and EU grant extended: need to modify "End Date"
• "Extension End Date" has to be entered at least one month before end of the mobility (Art. 2.5 of
participant grant agreement), or request for participant report sent out prematurely
• Participant report: 30 days before end date/extension end date of the mobility. Participant has 15
days to complete and submit the survey.
• Recognition system (at sending institution)  Choice between: CTS-ECTS (usual ECTS system, always
for Programme Countries); CTS-OTH (Other Credit Transfer or Credit Reference System); CTS-EQV
(Equivalent Recognition System) + description box
MT+ - Difference between KA103 and KA107
Staff Mobility (ST)
• No invited staff from enterprises
• Mobilities flagged as Zero Grant do not automatically trigger OS
 If "Zero Grant" flag set to 'Yes': flag "OS Covered by Erasmus+ EU Funds" becomes available.
• Additional OS funds requested to and approved by NA
• Erasmus Code is mandatory only if the sending/receiving organisation is located in a Programme
Country. Partner Country organisations do not have an Erasmus Code.
• "Extension": flag indicating that mobility activity was extended by a non-funded duration in days.
Non-funded means not funded by Erasmus+ EU funds (i.e. zero grant). If the mobility activity and the
EU grant are extended, the End Date of the mobility activity must be modified.

Data Definition
The calculation for this field is based on the total number of mobilities encoded in Mobility Tool+,
excluding Zero-grant mobilities not flagged as "OS Covered by Erasmus+ EU Funds". In addition, the
calculated amount field is governed by two more rules stated in Annex III of the beneficiary grant
agreement:
a. If the number of mobilities implemented is less than 10% lower than the number of mobilities
specified in Annex I of the grant agreement, the amount of Organisational Support specified in
Annex II does not need to be reduced (which is shown in the field "Organisational Support/
Approved Budget (by National Agency)").
b. If the number of mobilities implemented is higher than the number of mobilities specified in
Annex I of the grant agreement, the amount of Organisational Support is limited to the maximum
amount specified in Annex II.
At the end of the project, this field should indicate the amount of Organisational Support that remains
after the beneficiary has transferred funds from the OS budget category to the mobility budget
categories*. The mobilities organised via transferred OS funds do not trigger additional OS, therefore
the OS equivalent to those additional mobilities should be deducted from the Adjusted OS amount.
The transferred amount from Organisational Support to mobility grants is limited by two factors:
a. The transferred amount cannot be higher than 50 % of the approved Organisational Support
budget (in the field "Organisational Support / Approved Budget (by National Agency)").
b. The transferred amount cannot be higher than the calculated Organisational Support amount.
Nota bene: The funds for OS are allocated to the whole mobility project and should be shared with Partner Country HEIs in a mutually
acceptable arrangement. HEIs able to provide student and staff mobility of high quality (including linguistic preparation) at a lower
cost (or because they have funds other than Erasmus+ EU funds) can transfer up to 50% of the OS to Travel and Individual Support, in
order to undertake longer mobilities or new mobilities.
In case the OS is used to organise new mobilities, the Beneficiary will not receive additional OS from the National Agency. These
additional mobilities may be organised with any Partner Country HEI mentioned in the beneficiary grant agreement.
