With Erasmus+ KA103 Mobility Programme, administrative or academic staff of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) can have a training mobility at an institution holding Erasmus Charter

A training period must last a minimum of 2 days and cannot last more than 2 months. This excludes travelling time.

The mobility can comprise of training, job shadowing, staff weeks or observation activities.

Staff mobility for training (STT) includes three types of mobilities:

• The mobility of university staff member going to an enterprise
• The mobility of the university executive and administrative staff going to another university
• The mobility of academic staff going to another higher education institution to have training

For requirements, program rules and opportunities, please check the programme web page.

Erasmus International Credit Mobility Programme – in short: Erasmus + ICM –offers the HEI staff a chance to go on an Erasmus+ mobility outside of Europe.  KU OIP calls the Erasmus+ ICM scheme “Erasmus+ Worldwide” as it extends beyond Europe, allowing for mobility to other parts of the world.

The mobility can comprise of training, job shadowing, staff weeks or observation activities. The purpose of this type of mobility is to provide opportunity for our staff members to learn from a partner institution’s experience and good implementations in order to to improve required talents for her/his current assignments.

For partner institutions, requirements and program rules, please check the programme web page.

Due to the outcome of the federal vote on February 9, 2014, the negotiations between Switzerland and the EU regarding the participation in the Erasmus+ programme have been suspended. The Swiss higher education institutions can therefore not participate in Erasmus+ for the time being.

However, lecturers and higher education staff are able to complete a period of training abroad at a partner University in Switzerland in the framework of the new “Swiss-European Mobility Programme” with bilateral exchange agreements. The grants will be paid by the Swiss partner institutions.
