The ERASMUS+ program enables academic staff to carry out short-term teaching visits at partner universities abroad. The program supports the exchange of expertise and teaching experience while contributing to the improvement of educational and research quality at universities.
Mobility Characteristics
Depending on the nature of the research activities, mobility can be defined as a combination of Mobility for Teaching (STA) or Mobility for Training (STT). It may also take the form of an individualised type of teaching or training mobility and is carried out on the basis of bilateral agreements (IIA) between partner universities (LINK: section Truni International > Agreements and Partnerships). The teacher’s or doctoral student’s programme at the host institution must be agreed upon in advance in the form of a Mobility for Teaching Agreement (LINK: Truni International > Important Documents > Higher Education Mobility Agreement – Teaching KA131–KA171–2023_en) or a Mobility for Training Agreement (LINK: Truni International > Important Documents > Higher Education Mobility Agreement – Training KA131–KA171–2025_en). For this type, however, a bilateral agreement is not required.
Objectives of Staff Mobility
Preparation and presentation of an output or project of added value with defined priorities in the field of internationalisation for the department or faculty (during the mobility, a foundation for further international cooperation projects within ERASMUS+ is created – with a clearly defined and measurable output).
Refinement of study content within institutions for ERASMUS+ students.
Exchange and development of professional expertise and experience among university staff.
Enhancement of educational and research quality at universities through multidimensional international experience of higher education professionals.
Integration of knowledge and experience gained through mobility into the process of innovation within various aspects of academic life.
