Minutes Minutes – Online Steering Committee – STELLA for Staff 2017 3/16 STELLA 2017 Intercontinental Staff Mobility Programme Eva Garea Oya, Senior Technician at the International Relations Office of the University of Vigo, runs the meeting following the agenda: 1. List of participating institutions, figures of the current edition and budget for mobility A total of 34 universities (13 from America and 21 from Europe) participate in the programme. We count with the participation of CONAHEC (CGU mutual member) and two member universities from this network: Universidad del Caribe and Universidad Popular Autónoma del Estado de la Puebla (Mexico). This year the budget available in the Compostela Group to distribute in grants is 23,000€ (1,000€ ‐ gross amount‐ per mobility), and the number of candidates has been very high: 46 candidates, of which 23 candidates belong to Spanish Universities. That represents a challenge to award a least one grant per university. 2. Criteria for selection Due to the above‐explained challenge, and in order to guarantee a fair and objective selection of mobility, the following criteria are added to those already pre‐established in the handbook of guidelines 2017: 1. To give priority to those departments participating in the programme for the first time; 2. To give priority to those universities that did not get priority in the former edition; 3. To verify which universities sent at least one candidate and received none in the four last editions. 3. Selection of mobility and awarding of grants The selection of mobility is made as follows: First round – 11 individual exchanges Minutes – Online Steering Committee – STELLA for Staff 2017 4/16 STELLA 2017 Intercontinental Staff Mobility Programme The Steering Committee members try to get a balance between the mobility between the two continents. Therefore, they select the first candidates of all CGU American member universities, producing a result of 9 individual exchanges awarded with a CGU grant. Likewise, the two unique candidates from a CONAHEC’s University are also selected. Those individual exchanges are not awarded with a CGU grant, in accordance to the handbook of guidelines of the edition. Second round – 5 individual exchanges At least one candidate per European university is selected to move to America, giving a result of 5 individual exchanges granted with a CGU grant. Third round – 9 individual exchanges As the number of Spanish candidates is very high (23 applicants), the members of the Steering Committee select the mobility giving priority to those universities which participate for the first time and those universities which drag priority from the former edition, giving a result of 3 more granted individual exchanges. Afterwards, 6 more Spanish candidates are selected taking into account the three criteria identified this year at the beginning of the online meeting and already indicated in the item 2 of this document. RESULT: 23 individual exchanges from the CGU member universities, which are awarded with a CGU grant of 1,000 Euro each –gross amount‐; And, 2 individual exchanges from a CONAHEC member university, which should be granted with their own resources.
