Erasmus Staff Mobility

The Erasmus+ Programme allows for employees at Europeans universities to do a short teaching or training stay at another university in Europe.

Erasmus Staff Mobility for Teaching

Teaching mobility is relevant for teaching staff. Teaching is defined as lectures, seminars, workshops, panel discussions etc. where the teacher contributes actively to the programme. There must be a clearly defined target group (BA, MA or PhD students or employees)

An Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching is only possible if your university has signed an Inter-Institutional agreement for Teaching with UCPH.

Please contact the Erasmus coordinator at your home university to find out whether there is an Inter-Institutional Agreement for Teaching with UCPH.

A stay must be of a duration of at least two days – travel days not included – and with a minimum of eight teaching hours per five days or below.

Erasmus Staff Mobility for Training

Training mobility is relevant for teaching and non-teaching staff and there is no need for an Inter-Institutional Agreement.

Training is defined as training events abroad (excluding conferences) and job shadowing/observation periods/training at a partner university.

A stay must be of a duration of at least two days – travel days not included.

Erasmus grant

If the stay fulfils the criteria for Erasmus+ Staff Mobility you can ask your home university whether you can be awarded an Erasmus+ grant as a contribution to cover the expenses of the stay.

Planning an Erasmus Staff Mobility period at the University of Copenhagen

A stay in the framework of Erasmus Staff Mobility must be arranged in direct contact with a department, office or professor at UCPH. This means that staff are responsible for planning the Erasmus Staff Mobility themselves.

A stay as part of Erasmus Staff Mobility must be arranged directly with a relevant department, office, or academic staff member at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH). This means that visiting staff are themselves responsible for identifying and contacting the relevant unit to plan their stay.

Due to limited capacity, International Education is unfortunately not able to host Erasmus staff visits or assist with arranging stays in other departments or units at UCPH.

We kindly ask all interested staff to contact the relevant department or office directly to inquire whether a staff mobility visit can be arranged locally.

To find the most relevant contact or department at UCPH, please explore our website.

Please note that the University of Copenhagen does not currently offer Staff Training Weeks.
