Teaching mobility enables staff to spend a teaching period at a higher education institution in another participating country. Full-time academics can teach at one of our partner institutions, once that institution agrees. Your trip must be between two and five days (excluding travel days) and include a minimum of eight hours’ teaching. The partner higher education institutions must have agreed on the programme of activities to be undertaken by the visiting academics (teaching programme) prior to the start of the mobility period. |

The objectives of staff mobility for training are:
Staff members are selected by the sending higher education institution. The sending institution and the receiving institution/enterprise must have agreed on the training programme undertaken by the staff member, prior to the start of the mobility period. Staff can receive training abroad from 2 working days up to 2 months (excluding travel time), with a minimum of 8 hours training per week. If mobility duration is for 2 working days or more but less than 5 working days, the 8 hours minimum training load still applies. Language training and attendance of conferences and seminars are not recognised as ERASMUS-funded. Staff may also participate on a structured group Staff Training week provided by institutions.
