MobiON - online mobility platform of the UB
Outgoing candidates
1. The call is open via mobiON
2. The announcement with deadlines for internal application/evaluation/nomination is
automatically sent to all ECTS coordinators of participating UB faculties, who further distribute
and promote it
3. After the application period is over, the respective ECTS coordinator evaluates applications
from their faculty based on a predetermined list of criteria (available at the platform as well) and
sends official selection to the central IRO
4. Central IRO nominates all selected candidates to the foreign partner, who then proceeds with
its own procedure.

MobiON - online mobility platform of the UB

automatically generates acceptance letter with the names of accepted foreign candidates

Some institutions do not consider the inter-institutional
agreement (IIA) a binding legal document.
Examples
Contracts are supplied in electronic form as pdf files.
The IIA is signed by an employee.
The number and type of stipulated mobility flows exceeds actual available funding.
Administrative problems experienced & identified
mobion.bg.ac.rs
Administrative problems experienced & identified
The number of arranged mobilities is not respected.
Examples
The program institution doubled the number of incoming mobilities without informing the
partner host institution, the students just showed up at the university.
The program institution belatedly informed the university that the number of mobilities
denoted in the IIA signed by both parties was for the whole country, not for that one
university.
mobion.bg.ac.rs
The receiving institution is late in paying stipends, so students or staff are forced to pre-finance their mobility. Some sending universities select insufficiently prepared students or staff (for example, with extremely poor knowledge of English). Some universities do not follow procedures and deadlines: The sending institution insists that the mobility be realized before the IIA is signed. The sending institution informs the receiving university of the mobility 2-3 days before the student or staff arrival.
Administrative problems experienced & identified
mobion.bg.ac.rs
Specific problems
Mobility between 3+2 and 4+1 curricula
Discrepancy in number of ECTS allocated
Academic calendars
Insisting on IIA without thorough examination of the
compatibility of study programs

Erasmus+ KA1 in 2019:
Serbia as a Program Country
In January 2019 Serbia changed its status from a partner to a program country (valid as of 2019/20 a.y.)
KA107: University of Belgrade + H.E. from a partner country Duration: 24 or 36 months Budget: H.E. from a program country is responsible for both outgoing and incoming grants *KA107 ICM budget distribution for Serbia, 2019 call: https://erasmusplus.rs/ka1-international-credit-mobility-budget-distrubution-call-2019/
KA103: University of Belgrade + H.E. from another program country Duration: 16 or 24 months Budget: Each H.E. has its own budget for outgoing grants
In both KA107 and KA103 cooperation a mandatory first step is an Inter-Institutional Agreement between the two institutions.
