Internationalisation

• BayIntAn
  BayIntAn promotes research cooperation between Bavarian and international universities and colleges. It provides start-up funding, which mainly consists of mobility and accommodation costs. Applicants are expected to make a personal contribution, i.e. further project-related costs such as personnel expenses, access to equipment and infrastructure etc. must be borne by the project partners. The maximum funding amount per application is 10,000 euros; the funding is provided by the Bavarian State Ministry of Science and the Arts. 
  
  Researchers (PostDoc or higher) working at state and state-funded non-state Bavarian colleges and universities are eligible to apply. 
  
  The aim of the funding is to internationalise Bavarian university research and thereby strengthen Bavaria as a location for science and innovation.

• Erasmus programme
  The Erasmus programme was originally launched by the European Union in 1987. It was intended to promote closer co-operation between universities and higher education institutions throughout Europe. The aim was to create an organised and integrated system for the cross-border exchange of students. Over time, the programme has expanded in breadth and depth and is now known as "Erasmus+".
  
  Erasmus+ is a very broad-based programme that promotes mobility and partnership-based cooperation. Individuals and organisations based in an EU Member State or in a third country related to the programme can participate.
  
  ERASMUS+
  Erasmus+ in higher education supports students, universities, university staff and partners from the non-academic sector. The Key Action Mobility of Individuals (STA and STT programmes) supports the learning mobility of students and staff. In the higher education sector, this enables funding opportunities for study, learning and further education purposes. These can be: studies at a partner university, internships for students or graduates in organisations or companies in programme countries, teaching by German university representatives at partner universities, teaching by company and organisation representatives from programme countries at German universities, further education and training for German university representatives and much more. The mobility projects take place in Europe and worldwide. 
  
  Travelling and accommodation costs are reimbursed.
