The Erasmus+ programme is the European Union's funding programme for education, training, youth and sport. It governs student and staff exchange agreements in European countries.

We have been awarded an Erasmus charter to take part in the programme.

The available funding for Erasmus+ Staff Mobility is limited, and applications will be processed on a first come, first served basis. Staff Mobility opportunities under the current Erasmus+ funding project must be completed by mid-May 2023 when the project expires. Find out more about the Erasmus+ programme.

You can engage in activities such as:

• lectures
• seminars
• workshops (leading)
• mentoring activities with students

Staff teaching as part of their mobility must complete a minimum of eight hours’ teaching per week.

Staff Mobility opportunities during the academic year 2022/23 under the current funding project should be completed by mid-May 2023. If you are interested please email mobilityoffice@bath.ac.uk. The call for applications is now open.

The minimum duration of the training period must be two working days. The main purpose of a training visit is to share knowledge and experience as well as learn good practice from the host university.

This can include:

• job shadowing
• observation
• attending workshops or courses
• transferring knowledge and good practice
• learning from shared experience
• acquiring practical skills
• discovering new ideas for teaching or learning

Conferences are not included.

Staff must have completed at least six months of working at the University and must have the support of their line manager to apply.
