All staff can apply for European Mobility or International Mobility during an open Call for Applications are opened at the beginning of each academic year. The relevant information for each call is distributed via e-mail to all in order to be able to apply. Following the decision of the Erasmus Committee the approved participants receive a grant for their traveling and subsistence expenses, depending on the type and the duration of mobility.

Staff Training (STT)

The sending institution and the receiving institution/enterprise must have agreed on the programme of the activities to be undertaken by the visiting staff member, by completing a Mobility Agreement, prior to the start of the mobility period.Colleagues can use the platform IMOTION in case they would like to search for International Staff Weeks abroad, which are types of STT’s also covered by Erasmus funding.

European Mobility

In the case of HEIs, universities must hold the Erasmus Charter of Higher Education (ECHE).
