Services for university staff
To help foster internationalisation, Erasmus facilitates further education and training measures for higher education staff in participating programme countries.
The stay of higher education staff can be funded at another host higher education institution or at any other appropriate institution established in a participating Erasmus programme country. The duration of the stay abroad can be from two days to up to two months; as a rule, stays of about one week are usually funded.
Staff mobility (STT) can be used to support university staff from these areas:
Funding is provided for travel and subsistence costs up to a maximum of two weeks in accordance with EU unit costs staggered by destination country.
Financial support for Erasmus mobility for teaching or training purposes is based on the different costs of living in the destination countries ("programme countries"). Uniform daily rates apply for funding by German higher education institutions:
Group 1:
€180 per day for Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom.
Group 2:
€160 per day for Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain
Group 3:
€140 per day for Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Turkey, Hungary, Republic of Northern Macedonia, Serbia.
These daily rates are supplemented by travel costs depending on the actual distances between the place of departure and destination of the mobility, which are determined uniformly throughout Europe using a calculation tool.
The following amounts are reimbursed, dependent on your length of stay and the distance from your home and host institutions:
10 km - 99 km with €20
100 km - 499 km with €180
500 km - 1,999 km with €275
2,000 km - 2,999 km with €360
3,000 km - 3,999 km with €530
4,000 km - 7,999 km with €820
8,000 km + with €1,500
How to participate in the programme:
The Erasmus staff mobility is not a 1:1 exchange programme. However, you should be prepared in principle to receive a return visit. Please note that you must have appropriate language skills in order to be able to carry out your training stay in a meaningful way. Do not forget to make arrangements for time off or similar with your supervisor.
