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. All information is also available in condensed form for downloading in our new ERASMUS Staff brochure.
