Movement of university staff and lecturers

Lecturing visits by professors and teaching fellows at European partner universities are eligible for funding via the Erasmus+ programme. Travel and subsistence costs can be covered, but not teaching fees. Further details are available in piipe or on the website for the National Agency for EU University Collaboration – DAAD

The Erasmus+ programme includes funding for non-academic staff. for short stays at European universities (partner universities  or other Erasmus participants) and companies for professional development purposes. Typical activities include job shadowing or attending an “International Week”, or staff training week. International Week activities are usually posted online, where they can easily be accessed, e.g. here. You can find information about how to apply, sources of funding, etc in piipe.

These events are generally conducted in English and usually run for one to two weeks. Travel and subsistence costs are covered by lump sum payments the amounts of which are stated in our information sheet in piipe.
To qualify for a grant, you must be staying in an Erasmus+ country, i.e. in Europe or Turkey. Unfortunately, Switzerland is not covered. Visits to the United Kingdom remain eligible within the new Erasmus programme line "International Mobility". Further information is also available from the national Erasmus agency: DAAD.

Erasmus+ also funds guest lectures by business representatives from other European countries (Erasmus area)! Please feel free to get in touch with the International Office if you would like to find out more about this scheme. Further information is also available from the National Erasmus+ Agency on the DAAD website.
