Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training
ERASMUS+ STAFF MOBILITY FOR TRAINING
General information regarding E+ mobilities
International Relations Office offers our administrative staff members an opportunity to improve their qualifications in an international environment within the framework of two Erasmus+ programme actions; Action KA 131 – to EU countries and Action KA 171 – to non-EU countries. Below you can find general information about the available mobility opportunities: 1. Employees may take part in staff mobility for training (STT), which includes: staff week, workshops, special courses, or the so-called “job shadowing”, meaning exchange of experience between universities; 2. Each staff member can go abroad at least once per semester; 3. Priority is given to employees with short history of employment and who are first-time goers; Minimum language proficiency level for administrative staff – B2; 1. If an employee’s language proficiency level is below the required level, they may go abroad with a supervisor – a fellow employee from their or another department provided that this fellow employee meets the minimum language proficiency level defined above; 2. Mobility can be taken advantage of throughout the year, taking into account the holiday breaks at the selected host university.
In the case of mobility to EU countries: • KU staff members may go abroad to partner and non-partner universities; • employees may apply to take part in a so-called “staff week” organised by EU universities. The list of open opportunities can be found here; • the employee contacts the host university on their own initiative; • The duration of the stay abroad is 2 days at a minimum and 5 days at a maximum (excluding the duration of travel). In the case of training planned to take more than 5 days, the employee is obliged to contact the Mobility Coordinator individually.
In the case of mobility to non-EU countries: • KU staff members may go abroad to partner universities only; • the employee applies to go abroad using a KU JotForm form; • The duration of the stay abroad is 5 days (excluding the duration of travel). It is not possible to extend the duration of stay in a non-EU country.
