Not only students and teaching staff, but also administrative employees can benefit from continuing professional development abroad. Under the Erasmus+ Staff Mobility program of the European Commission, staff can apply to participate in training and further education at selected partner universities worldwide.

This activity promotes the professional development of university staff through training activities (other than conferences) and job shadowing at partner universities.
