You probably already know that the European Commission’s Erasmus+ program gives students and educators the chance to participate in exchanges abroad. But did you know that it also supports travel abroad for university staff in administration or other non-academic areas? If you wish to participate in professional training or continuing education courses at an international partner university or a European company, Erasmus+ can help make that happen.

There are currently over fourteen countries around the world to choose from – from Eastern Europe, to Latin America, to the Middle East and Asia. Week-long stays for professional development are possible at any of twenty-eight participating partner universities.

Applications must be submitted by November 30, 2022. The trip must take place by July 2023, but that means there is still plenty of time to work out the specific dates with the partner institution even after your application has been approved.
