The selection process for participants, students, and staff must be objective, based on the merits of the candidates, transparent, and documented according to the EU requirements.
The selection process will be done through the UPV Erasmus+ KA171 Platform, under collaboration between each partner and UPV.
Student mobility will be carried out preferably for semester A or, if not possible, for semester B of the chosen academic year (according to the project’s duration).
Semesters at UPV are as follows:
- Semester A: From September to January
- Semester B: From February to July
Staff mobility must be agreed upon with the UPV professor who will attend the stay and can be carried out at any time, as agreed between the home and host institutions, always within the project’s duration.
Staff mobility for training will depend on the staff weeks’ calendar.
Once the selection process has been completed, UPV and partners will proceed to the formal nomination of candidates, stating the score obtained according to the call criteria, including the reserve list, if any.
The pre-enrolment for students will be open from September 1st to October 15th and from March 20th to May 15th.

Candidates for Master’s shall have 30 ECTS approved.
Nominated candidates must preferably belong to the areas of study agreed upon in the inter-institutional agreement with each partner.
We strongly recommend all candidates should have an A1 Spanish level; this will allow them to obtain better benefits from their stay at the social level. UPV will provide MOOC Spanish courses for beginners previously to each semester.
If the candidates have a Spanish B2 (or even B1) level, they can be admitted to any School without restrictions.
Please consider that admission at the School of Business, and the School of Informatics IS VERY UNLIKELY.

Ph.D. students will develop their research with UPV Department and professors who already have a previous academic relationship with the home institution, so it will allow getting the aim for strengthening the scientific collaboration. Ph.D. students will need a pre-invitation letter from the UPV professor who shall supervise their research as a requirement to be admitted for the selection process.
Students will apply for a type D visa (6 months) in the Spanish Consulate of the Region/Country; for incoming participants, UPV will provide all necessary documents. For outgoing participants, partners will provide with necessary documents.
