Description

The European Solidarity Corps programme finances volunteering (including humanitarian aid) and solidary projects. activities open to 18-30 (35 for Humanitarian aid volunteering) year old people who legally reside in a EU Member State or in a third country associated to the Programme (Iceland, Liechtenstein, Turkey and Republic of North Macedonia) and who have registered in the European Solidarity Corps PortalThe programme implements the following operational actions:

  • Volunteering projects
  • Solidarity projects
  • Volunteering in humanitarian aid operations

The Mobility tab in the continuous reporting for this programme manages the:

  • Volunteers' personal information (Student libraryVolunteers)
  • Mobility declarations for the periods funded for volunteers

(warning) The mobility declaration is part of both continuous and periodic reporting.

(warning) Note that:

  • only the Coordinator can edit the Mobility tab. The other partners involved in the project have read-only access.
  • the Project Officers do not ‘accept’ or ‘reject’ the Mobility Declaration: they can only reopen it (the consortium can't reopen a submitted declaration). See "Important note" below for more information.  

Source Document 

Who can edit and submit mobility declarations

The Primary Coordinator Contact/Coordinator Contact can save/edit/delete/submit all mobility declarations for the coordinator and any beneficiary organisation involved in the project. The Participant Contact of the Sending Organisation (or of the Hosting Organisation in case of an Associated Partner) can save/edit/delete/submit mobility declaration for its organisation.The Model Grant Agreement for ERASMUS+ Unit Grants specifies that the mobility declaration should be encoded in the Portal Continuous Reporting and regularly updated. 

Important note

If the technical part or the financial statement of the Final Periodic Report is locked, changes to the mobility declaration will no longer be possible!

Also, if the Final Periodic Report is open for the current project and the Financial Statement for the Coordinator or the Technical Part are not in draft anymorehave no longer a DRAFT status, then a Mobility Declaration: 

  • can't be submitted
  • can't be reopened by the Project Officer 
  • can't be updated 

student in the Project Student Library volunteer information can't be reopened by the Project Officer for updates if any of the Mobility Declarations linked to this student volunteer can't be reopened.

Automatic calculation of the costs in the Financial Statement based on the duration

The system automatically calculates the costs (for "Contributions for Scholarships" and "Institutional Contribution" cost categories*) in the Financial Statement (these costs therefore won't be editable anymore in the Financial Statement), based on the:

  • duration (in person months) of the study period in the Mobility Declaration

*(warning) There is no automatic calculation for the “Special Needs” cost category and the corresponding amount has to be inserted by the Coordinator.

The calculation happens as follows: 

  • For each submitted Mobility Declaration:
    • the number of units (Person/Months) is calculated based on the following formula: 
      • the number of full months that fall in the Study Period ( (warning) Please note that a full month is calculated as the period of time extending from the date of the calendar month, which corresponds to the start day of a study period, to the date before the same day of the month in the following calendar month. So, if the study period starts on the day Xth of month N, a full month ends the date before the day Xth of month N+1 (or the date before the last day of month N+1, if that month is shorter than X days).)
  • the number of remaining days divided by 30 (with 7 decimals)
  • Examples of calculation:

  • a study period starting on 15 December 2019 and ending on 14 January 2020 accounts for one month
  • a study period starting on 31/01/2021 and ending on 10/03/2021 accounts for:
  • one full month:  from  31/01/2021 until 27/02/2021
  • 11 remaining days/ 30 =  0

    .

    3666666 months

  • Total = 1.3666666 month 
  • Relevant screens in the Participant Portal Grant Management Services

    The Mobility tab is divided in three two different parts:tables:

    1. Volunteers
    2. the Master duration: here you must add the duration of the project (master programme) in month before encoding any students
    3. Student library: here you can add the selected students (scholarship and non-scholarship holders)volunteers and encode their personal information
    4. Mobility declaration: here you can add the mobility declarations for the enrolled students (scholarship and non-scholarship holders)

    In order to avoid re-entering multiple times the personal information about the same person, the Volunteers table has been implemented.

    The table contains the personal information of each volunteer

    Image Removed

    The student library contains the personal information about the student and states whether a mobility declaration has already been submitted or not (or regardless the status of MD).

    The same student volunteer can be assigned to different study volunteering periods in the context of the same project (master programme).

    The personal data of a student volunteer can only be modified if no Mobility Declaration has been submitted.

    In order to avoid re-entering multiple times the personal information about the same person, a Student Library has been implemented with the information about the students who have taken part in the project (master programme).
