Expanding competences with ERASMUS
Learning from each other and sharing knowledge is an important principle of every higher education institution. Through Erasmus stays, not only expertise but also pedagogical skills can be exchanged. More experience means enrichment and thus expansion of the teaching offered at higher education institutions. Exchanges of university staff also strengthen cooperation between universities.
Cross-border cooperation can strengthen own competences and increase quality in general. The improvement of language skills can be a great added value for further cooperation and strategic objectives of one's own institutions can be pushed.
A TEACHING STAY (STAFF MOBILITY FOR TEACHING PURPOSES) enables all teaching staff at a partner HEI to teach abroad.
A teaching activity has to comprise a minimum of 8 hours of teaching per week (or any other period of stay shorter than a week). If the mobility lasts longer than one week, the minimum number of teaching hours for an incomplete week should be proportional to the duration of that week.
Staff must carry out their physical mobility activity in any EU Member State or third country associated to the Programme different from the country of the sending organisation and the staff country of residence.
A TRAINING ACTIVITY (STAFF MOBILITY FOR TRAINING PURPOSES) abroad enables all members of staff of a higher education institution to participate in a training activity abroad relevant to their daily work at the higher education institution. The activity may take the form of training events (excluding conferences) or periods of job shadowing and observation periods.
The duration of mobility among EU Member States and countries associated to the Programme must be from 2 to 60 days of physical mobility, excluding travel time according to the EU Programme Guide. In all cases, the minimum number of days must be consecutive.
