Staff Mobility for Teaching Assignment (STA) in Programme Countries
The Erasmus+ programme promotes guest lectureships at European partner universities. The aim of a teaching mobility is to share content of teaching with students at partner universities who cannot or do not wish to go abroad and thus to supplement the teaching on offer at the partner university.
Funding is provided for stays that
- result in the development of new teaching materials and enrich the teaching offer,
- can be used to strengthen and expand links between departments and faculties and to prepare future cooperation projects between the home and host universities, or
- contribute to establishing contacts and building networks.
You can find the list of current Erasmus partner universities of TU Bergakademie Freiberg in the download section below.
Funding Criteria
- The teaching assignment at the partner university must amount to at least eight teaching hours per commenced week. Duration of the on-site teaching stay: at least 2 days (without travel).
- There must be a valid bilateral Inter-Institutional Agreement with the relevant host university.
- Eligible persons: Professors employed at TU Bergakademie Freiberg, as well as lecturers and research assistants who have a contract with the university.
Funding
- Reimbursement of travel costs according to EU flat rate (depending on distance! Calculation here).
