General information

Teaching staff from all areas may apply for staff mobility for teaching and training at a Circle U. partner university in order to support their professional development.

Staff Mobility for Teaching is a stay at an Erasmus+ partner institution focused on teaching the students of the partner institution. It is a requirement that you participate in teaching activities for at least 8 hours per week during the exchange.

You may combine teaching with training activities. If you carry out both types of activities, your weekly teaching obligation during the stay will be reduced to 4 hours.

Planning of your mobility stay abroad

Duration of the mobility:

  • For mobilities to the UK (King's College London): the minimum number of days depend on the funding scheme for the mobility and differs between the universities in the alliance. For more information, please contact your home university.
