Professors , and Administrative Staff Mobility
Undertake an international assignment
Professors
If you are going on an international assignment, you must first obtain authorization in accordance with the conditions of your trip (request for authorization to be absent from work while abroad).
The Erasmus+ Program allows you to participate in two different types of mobility opportunities:
Teaching Mobility (STA)
This type of exchange allows participants to teach (a minimum of 8 hours of classes, excluding lectures, over 2 days, not including travel time) at a partner university. This exchange takes place under an interuniversity agreement and can last up to two months, with the option to participate at any time throughout the year. Depending on the destination and duration of the mobility, financial support from the home institution UM may be requested. The eligible training period ranges from 2 days to 2 months. Depending on the destination and duration of the mobility, financial support from the home institution UM may be requested.
Destinations: This funding is valid in Europe.

It is also intended to foster cooperation between the University of Montpellier and international companies.
