Would you like to work or train short-term in another European country?
19 Aug 2014
Erasmus funding is available to help you undertake training/teaching in Europe during the 2014/2015 academic year
The International Programmes Office is once again distributing Erasmus funding for staff mobility. Erasmus offers a funded opportunity both for academic and non-academic staff to teach, train or work in another participating European country. You could get to know first-hand the workings of another European educational system, deliver a course with European colleagues and/or discover best practices to bring back to your role in Manchester.
There are two strands of staff mobility:
- Teacher Mobility (for academic staff only)
- Staff Training (for non-academic or academic staff)
Teacher Mobility (TM)
The Teacher Mobility strand provides funding to teach from eight hours to two months at another European University (a minimum duration of two working days is recommended). This teaching must take place at a university holding an Erasmus Charter.
Staff Training Mobility (ST)
The Staff Training Mobility strand provides funding for staff to acquire training at another European institution of Higher Education (holding an Erasmus University Charter) or at a European enterprise. ALL staff are eligible to apply. The purpose of the mobility should be to allow the participant to learn by sharing good practice, and to acquire practical skills and knowledge that they can apply to their current position at The University of Manchester. Training may include: a short secondment, job-shadowing, study visits, language training, seminars, workshops, courses. The training period should be from 8 hours (over at least two days) to two months.
Examples of past projects include familiarization with databases, comparative evaluation of administration of taught programmes, and training on how to use psychological tracking equipment. Please note that this funding is not intended to support conference attendance.
The staff mobility scheme is now open for applications.
