Erasmus+ Enriching lives, opening minds
About
Erasmus is an example of an intellectual carrying out part of his or her studies abroad, many young scions of English high society from the 17th century onwards travelled abroad for long periods in order to enrich their education with other cultures and practices, especially artists and musicians honing their skills by moving from court to court.
Today, as in the past, an international education and training is not just an atout, but is absolutely indispensable in order to engage with the world of work in terms of innovation and creativity. In academies as well as in universities, students and teachers are well aware that a period of study abroad is an indispensable experience.
Staff
Teaching
Erasmus+ supports teaching periods at higher education institutions (HEIs) abroad.
If you work in higher education, you can spend time teaching at an institution in an Erasmus+ Programme or Partner country.
Teaching opportunites are also available to staff working in Programme country organisations.
Examples of such organisations include businesses, public bodies, social partners, research institutes and non-governmental organisations.
Training
With Erasmus+, training opportunities are available to staff working in education, both in teaching and non-teaching capacities.
Training periods abroad can consist of job shadowing, observation periods, professional development courses or specific competence-building events.
Erasmus+ supports training both at education institutions and at relevant organisations operating outside the sector.
