Erasmus+ for university staff

Guest lecturers strengthen the European dimension of the host university through their stay, complement its teaching and impart their expertise to students who do not want to or cannot study abroad. Staff from foreign companies and organisations can also be invited to teach at German universities.

• The programme supports stays

• at a foreign partner university with a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) or
• in the programme countries at foreign facilities that are active in the labour market or in the fields of education, professional training or youth.

• If possible, the stay should be based on the development of joint study programmes at the partner universities as well as the exchange of teaching content and methods.
• The teaching stay lasts between two days and two months (excluding travelling time); the teaching workload is at least 8 hours per stay or per week or part thereof. A maximum of 5 working days are financially supported at the Fulda University of Applied Sciences.

Application

• Please apply by 31 August to the coordinator for international affairs in your department for the following academic year (funding period: 1 October - 30 September).

Professional exchange, new perspectives, expansion of networks and strengthening of international competence - use the opportunity of a stay abroad. For a stronger internationalisation of the university, Erasmus+ enables further education and training in the European programme countries. For example, language courses, study visits, work shadowing and job shadowing are funded.

The following funding rates apply for the current academic year:

1. travel expenses - travel expenses allowance in the 2023 call
ST staff mobility for teaching, further education and training purposes

1. travel expenses - travel expenses allowance in the 2024 and 2025 call

Note:
The travelling distance corresponds to the distance between the place of origin and the destination. The amount corresponds to the allowance for the outward and return journey to/from the destination. The distances are calculated using the European Committee's distance calculator. The one-way distance is the basis for calculating the amount of the EU grant for the outward and return journey.

Staff opting for sustainable travel (Green Travel) will receive additional individual support for travel days of up to 4 days for a return journey, if applicable. Please note that the need for additional travel days must be justified by the participants.
