Funding opportunities and programs
ERASMUS+ promotes guest lectureships at European partner universities and worldwide. The courses are coordinated in advance with the respective host university and are integrated into the local teaching program. In the ERASMUS Partnerhochschulen database, the current options for an ERASMUS stay for university staff at partner universities of TU Dresden are listed alongside the responsible ERASMUS officers of the respective Faculties.
Details are available at ERASMUS: Guest lectureships at partner universities.

Via the DAAD, teaching stays by German university lecturers at universities abroad can be funded from resources of the Federal Foreign Office.
Travel program for congresses and lecture tours
The travel program for congresses and lecture tours funds the active participation of German scientists and academics at congresses abroad and also funds international lecture tours. The condition for funding is that the thematic contributions that are currently important are also significant for the further academic development of the scientists.
PPP – Project Related Personal Exchange
The German Academic Exchange Service has established bilateral programs with partner organizations in various countries to intensify scientific cooperation. As part of these programs, funding is provided to scientists who carry out joint research projects with their international partners.

Moreover, during the stay, research-related work can be carried out in archives, university libraries and university-associated institutes.
