ERASMUS teaching stays and training activities abroad support the internationalisation of universities at all levels and contribute to the personal development of university staff. Internationally active academics and scientists strengthen international exchange and cooperation in the faculties with a teaching stay, impart specialist knowledge to students and, on the other hand, get to know the partner universities in Europe and worldwide better. They also gain new perspectives with a training placement on the basis of a coordinated programme. The focus here is on professional exchange and the strengthening of their own competence as well as the expansion and deepening of networks.

How do I invite my partners for a return visit?

By inviting your hosts or other partners to the TU Dresden, you strengthen the respective university partnership, support the internationalisation of the TU Dresden and enable your faculty to gain new perspectives in the exchange of knowledge. Guest lecturers at the TU Dresden complement your own course offerings and also help students to break down mobility barriers and any prejudices that may exist.

Depending on their country of origin, university staff can apply for Erasmus+ funding directly at their home university (Europe/Programme Countries) or at the International Office of TU Dresden (worldwide/Partner Countries).
