       Information for Faculty Members Who Want to Benefit from the Orhun Exchange Program

1- Faculty member mobility covers the teaching activities of faculty members working at a higher education institution in another higher education institution. Academic activities of faculty members within the scope of mobility cannot be less than six hours in total per week. Courses are taken as the basis in calculating the activities carried out by the faculty member in hours. If the lesson hours do not exceed six hours per week, academic activities such as seminars, panels or conferences are also evaluated within this scope. Faculty member mobility plans that do not include teaching activities cannot be evaluated within the scope of the exchange program and cannot be accepted for exchange.

2- There is no department limitation in applications. After all applications are received and forwarded to the Turkish University Union Term Presidency, evaluations will be made according to the faculty member acceptance decisions of the host university preferred by the faculty members and the results will be announced. Faculty members who will apply should check whether the department/program they want to carry out teaching mobility in the university they want to apply to is available and information about the language of education on the web address of the university they want to apply to.
3- The duration of faculty member mobility can be 15 days, once in an academic year.

4- In order for faculty member mobility to be carried out effectively and efficiently, the scope, duration and conditions of mobility can be rearranged by the TURKUNIB Term Presidency when necessary.
5- The activities to be carried out by the faculty member are specified in detail in the Faculty Member Mobility Program. This Plan is approved by the boards of directors of the faculty member's own institution and the relevant academic unit of the institution to which they are going. The Faculty Member Mobility Plan is submitted to the exchange program coordination offices of the signatory higher education institution at least 15 days before its implementation. In this Plan, priority is given to special situations such as the language of education of the higher education institution to which they are going, the language in which the faculty members will teach and the level of knowledge of this language. In the exchange, priority is given to applications from faculty members who have not previously participated in faculty member exchange activities.
6- Faculty members who are entitled to participate in the exchange program and who do not participate in the exchange without an excuse cannot apply again to benefit from this program within three years.
7- The personal rights of faculty members participating in the Orhun Exchange program are reserved by their own universities.
