Mobility projects for higher education students and staff support physical and blended mobility (combination of virtual and physical mobility) between institutional partners.
Student Mobility
Students can take part in the following types of mobilities:
- study period abroad,
- a traineeship (work placement, internship) abroad.
Mobilities can be organized during both bachelor and master studies. Student mobilities and traineeships can last from 2 to 12 months in total within one cycle of study.
The open call contains information about study program and study year that students must enroll and/or complete to be eligible to apply for mobility.
The advantages that students who attended a part of their studies on mobility programs gain are numerous:
- acquaintance with various people and their cultures,
- learning a foreign language, acquiring new experience,
- better employment opportunities in the country and abroad.
Going on a mobility program makes a student stand out from others and offers them advantages which are always recognized by successful companies.
Staff Mobility
Teaching and non-teaching staff can also take part in the mobility such as:
- a teaching period abroad (only for teaching staff),
- a training period abroad (for teaching and non-teaching staff).
Particpating in staff mobilities directly impacts the participants professional development as they gain new experience, new contacts, and improve their teaching ability or technical skills, as well as their personal development through travelling and integrating with new cultures.
