The Erasmus+ programme is also aimed at the technical and administrative staff of universities, who are given the opportunity to participate in mobility periods abroad at partner universities around the world.
Any additional funds available may be used by the University to finance other international opportunities for staff both to member States of the European Union and associated countries and to countries not associated with the programme.
The exchanges must be approved by the direct supervisor of the applicant and by the person responsible for the funds. Priority is given to the staff of the International Relations Division and the Mobility Office.
