Bear in mind that the stay must be at least two days and consist of at least eight teaching hours per week or occasion. 

In the case of teacher mobility to countries included as programme countries in Erasmus+, the Erasmus grant has to be used in the first place.

If the cost is estimated to exceed the amount of the grant, an application can be made for additional funding from the international incentive funding by submitting an application in good time before the mobility. 

They can be contact trips to prospective or current partner universities in order to increase student and teacher mobility or contact trips that otherwise promote cooperation that is consistent with the Faculty’s action plan for internationalisation. 

The application for a contact trip should clearly state how the result will be fed back into the degree programme.

This includes projects intended to attain the targets set out in the Action plan for internationalisation of education at undergraduate and postgraduate level at the Faculty of Medicine 2019–2024:

• Increase in the number of students spending part of their education abroad
• Deeper internationalisation at home
• Increased participation in international work among the Faculty’s teaching staff
• Increased teacher mobility
• Deeper collaboration with foreign universities
• The link between internationalisation work and the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs) must be clear

Irrespective of whether you are interested in teacher mobility, contact trips or project funding, you can apply here.
