Mobility programmes

Academic mobility

Academic mobility refers to higher education students, academic and non/academic staff going to another institution of higher education in a foreign country to conduct a part of the study program (one or two semesters), that is, to teach or have training at another institution.

Student mobility can be implemented at all study levels (BA, MA, PhD and post-doctoral studies) and staff mobility enclose academic and non-academic staff.


Erasmus+

Erasmus+ is one of the largest EU programs that finances projects of mobility and cooperation in the field of education, youth training, and sports. It was established in 2014 and in 2021 entered a new seven-year implementation period that will last until 2027.

HEIs from Programme countries (EU Member states and third countries associated to the Programme) submit mobility project proposals to their National agency and if selected, they enable following mobility activities:

Student Mobility:

  • a study period in a programme/partner country abroad lasting between 3 and 12 months
  • traineeships (work placements, internships, etc.) abroad for students currently enrolled in higher education institutions in Programme countries. These opportunities are also open to recent graduates.

Staff Mobility:

  • teaching periods - staff deliver teaching at another HEI abroad (minimum of 8 hours of teaching per week)
  • training periods - staff undertake a training event or undergo job shadowing/observation

Staff mobility activities can last from 2 days to 2 months, excluding travel time.

CEEPUS - Central European Exchange Program for University Studies

This exchange program is aimed for university studies mobility and is a multilateral university exchange program in the extended Danube region based on an international Agreement between the member countires. Each country has a National CEEPUS Office in charge of national implementation.

The main activity of CEEPUS are networks of eligible universities operating joint programs. Within these networks CEEPUS covers mobility grants for students and teachers of those eligible universities. Next to the mobility within the networks, there are also options for freemover candidates.
