Academic staff

Academic staff mobility refers exclusively to training, teaching and/or research activities performed by invited academic staff of partner universities in host institutions which are members of the partnership

The objectives of "academic staff mobility" must be:

• to provide academic staff with opportunities for professional and personal development, through the possibility of doing practical training, research or teaching assignments in a partner institution
• to encourage universities to broaden and enrich the range and content of courses they offer
• to allow students to benefit from the knowledge and expertise of academic staff from universities in participating in the partnership
• to consolidate links between institutions in different countries
• to promote exchange of expertise and experience on pedagogical methods
• to strengthen the capacity for international cooperation
• to prepare long-term recognition of studies between institutions through ECTS (European credit transfer system) or other compatible systems

Academic staff undertaking a period of teaching, training or research in a partner university must:

• 1. work in or be associated to one of the participating institutions
• 2. have the nationality of one of the eligible countries and
• 3. be fully integrated into the Department or Faculty of the host institution(s)

This last criterion means that:

• the mobility assignments must be based on partnership agreements between the members ofthe partnership
• the home and host universities and the individual teachers must agree on the programme of lectures to be delivered by the visiting teachers, on the research activities or type of training to be followed
• the exchange may constitute a post-per- post exchange or a one-way visitor flow to or from a third-country

In the selection process, priority should be given to mobility assignments which will also:

• ensure that the visiting teacher’s contributions will be an integral part of a diploma programme of the host institution
• will lead to the production of new teaching material
• will be used to consolidate and extend links between departments and faculties and to prepare for future cooperation projects between the sending and host university
• will help strengthen the international cooperation departments in the foreign universities
• will lead to progresses in the application of ECTS or other systems for recognition of studies in the partner institution
