Erasmus funding to undertake teaching/training in 2010/2011
The Study Abroad Unit will once again be distributing Erasmus funding for staff mobility. Erasmus offers a well-funded opportunity for both academic and administrative staff to teach or work elsewhere in one of the 30 participating countries in Europe. You can 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 and Staff Training.
Teacher Mobility (TM) - The Teacher Mobility scheme provides funding to teach from five hours to six weeks at another European university.
Staff Training Mobility (ST) - The Staff Training Mobility scheme provides funding for staff to acquire training at another European institution of Higher Education or at a European enterprise. ALL staff are eligible. The purpose of the mobility is to allow the participant to learn by transfer of knowledge and to acquire practical skills and knowledge of good practice that they can apply to their current position at The University of Manchester. Training may include: a short secondment, job-shadowing, language training, seminars, workshops, courses.
If you have a training project in mind but need help identifying a potential host, the University’s Study Abroad Unit can put you in contact with our existing partners. Please note that this funding is not intended to support conference attendance.
