Mobility for Professors Administrative Staff
Go on an international assignment
Professors
If you are going on an international assignment, you must first obtain authorization that meets the requirements for 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:
Teaching Mobility (STA)
This type of mobility allows you to teach (a minimum of 8 class hours over 2 days, excluding travel time) at a partner university. This mobility takes place under an inter-university agreement and can last up to two months, with the option to participate at any time of the year. Depending on the destination and duration of the mobility, financial support from the student’s home department at UM may be requested. The eligible training period ranges from 2 days to 2 months.
