Teacher-researcher and administrative staff mobility
International assignments
Teacher-researchers
If you're going on an international assignment, you'll need to obtain prior authorization in line with the conditions of your trip (request for authorization for absence abroad).
The Erasmus + program offers three different types of mobility:
Organizational Support (OS)
It enables us to monitor the mobility of a student from the University of Montpellier sent to a European partner university. It also finances preparatory visits to sign new Erasmus agreements.
Destinations: this financing is only valid for destinations in Europe.
Teaching mobility (STA)
This type of mobility enables students to teach (minimum 8 hours of classes excluding lectures for 2 days, excluding travel) at a partner university. This type of mobility is carried out within the framework of an inter-university agreement and can last up to two months, with the possibility of leaving throughout the year. Depending on the destination and duration of the mobility, a contribution may be requested from the structure to which the student belongs. Eligible training periods range from 2 days to 2 months. Depending on the destination and duration of the mobility, a contribution may be requested from the UM structure.
Destinations: this funding is available in Europe and outside Europe (Erasmus+ International Mobility for MIC Credits program).
Training mobility (STT)
This type of mobility is aimed at teacher-researchers for training purposes, to enable them to acquire knowledge from experience and observe best practices abroad. It also helps to develop cooperation between the University of Montpellier and international companies. NB: the main part of the training must not consist of participation in conferences, seminars or workshops.
The University of Montpellier is committed to promoting equity and inclusion of program participants, especially those with special needs, such as people with mental (intellectual, cognitive, or learning disabilities), physical, sensory, or other disabilities.
