Mobility for other staff

What does mobility entail for other staff categories?

Through mobility for other staff within Erasmus+ you have the opportunity to travel to a (partner) university, company or organisation in Europe for a study visit, job shadowing, study visits or participation in a course.The mobility is to have a direct connection with the work duties of the employee in question.

If you choose to travel to a higher education institution, this would normally be one of the partner universities of the Faculties of Humanities and Theology with which there are well-established contacts, however there is no need for an Erasmus+ exchange agreement in order for the staff mobility to take place. You can personally contact the unit/division/department you would like to visit. Once you have a reply from the host institution confirming their willingness to receive you, you can submit an application.

You can find the faculties' partner universities by choosing "Europe" on the following webpage. 

You have the opportunity to travel to one of the countries which participates in Erasmus+ i.e. EU member states, candidate countries and the EFTA countries.
