Where and how can I travel abroad to take part in a training course for administrative staff within the framework of Erasmus+?

Our International Relations Office offers our administrative staff members an opportunity to improve their qualifications in an international setting within the framework of two Erasmus+ programme actions;Action KA 103 – to EU countries and Action KA 107 – to non-EU countries.

Below you can find general information about the available mobility opportunities:

1. Employees may take part in staff mobility for training (STT), which includes: staff week, workshops, special courses, or the so-called “job shadowing”, meaning exchange of experience between universities
2. Each staff member can go abroad at least once per semester
3. Priority is given to employees with short history of employment and who are first-time goers

Minimum language proficiency level for administrative staff – B2. 

1. If an employee’s language proficiency level is below the required level, they may go abroad with a supervisor – a fellow employee from their or another department provided that this fellow employee meets the minimum language proficiency level defined above
2.  Mobility can be taken advantage of throughout the year, taking into account the holiday breaks at the selected host university

In the case of mobility to EU countries:

• KU staff members may go abroad to partner and non-partner universities
• employees may apply to take part in a so-called “staff week” organised by EU universities. The list of open opportunities can be found here
• the employee applies to go abroad using a KU JotForm form
• the employee contacts the host university on their own initiative
• The duration of the stay abroad is 2 days at a minimum and 5 days at a maximum (excluding the duration of travel). In the case of training planned to take more than 5 days, the employee is obliged to contact the Mobility Coordinator individually

In the case of mobility to non-EU countries:

• KU staff members may go abroad to partner universities only.
• the employee applies to go abroad using a KU JotForm form
• The duration of the stay abroad is 5 days (excluding the duration of travel). It is not possible to extend the duration of stay in a non-EU country.
