Programme Overview

The ERASMUS+ programme offers funding opportunities for staff mobility for teaching (STA) as well as for training (STT) purposes. The basis for funding is mobility to a partner university (abbreviated PHS in German) with which the THI has signed a valid ERASMUS contract or an institution funded by the Erasmus programme (e.g. language schools).

Many partner universities also offer so-called international staff weeks. These usually last about 4-5 days, present a specific topic or are aimed at employees of specific administrative units. You can find an overview of all European Staff Weeks online.

Mobility Activities

Teaching mobility

The ERASMUS+ programme supports teaching stays at a partner university of the THI in Erasmus programme countries. Through their stay, the guest lecturers are to strengthen the European dimension of the host university, complement its teaching offer and impart their expertise to students who do not want to or cannot study abroad. The development of joint study programmes at the two partner universities and the exchange of teaching content and methods are to be included.

Teaching stays must comprise at least eight teaching hours and may last a maximum of six weeks. A stay of five days is recommended.
