Through the Erasmus+ staff mobility programme, academic staff at the university are given opportunities to acquire knowledge and/or learn new techniques (e.g. working with equipment) through exchange with experienced colleagues in other European countries (Erasmus+ programme countries). This is aimed in particular at academic staff at the beginning of their academic career (pre-docs, post-docs). Participation in conferences is not eligible for funding.

Target group

All employees of the academic university staff with the exception of lecturers with an employment contract of at least 20 hours per week. The employment relationship must have existed for at least 3 months before the start of the mobility and for at least 6 months after the end of the mobility.

Duration

A minimum of 2 working days per stay an a maximum stay of 2 weeks

Required documents are an application form and a mobility agreement. For the documents the approval of the guest university and of the head of your organizational unit are required. Please send the scanned documents per e-mail to staffmobility(at)univie.ac.at

The application forms are checked by the International Office. Final approval takes place through the department of Human Resources and Gender Equality.
