Staff mobility for training - Outgoing
Erasmus+ supports training periods for staff working in higher education institutions, both in teaching and non-teaching capacities.
Training abroad is a chance to develop personally, professionally and academically, gain new transferable skills, develop cultural awareness and open-mindedness, gain knowledge in new subjects or in teaching methods, broaden your horizons – physically and mentally, and improve and gain language skills.
To go abroad for training with Erasmus+, you must be an employee of the University of Nova Gorica (UNG).
The receiving institution and the UNG must have an Inter-institutional Agreement, but only in case of mobility to the Partner Country.
To be eligible to go abroad with Erasmus+, you must apply for the UNG call and be selected.
A training period between two Programme countries must last a minimum of 2 days and a maximum of 60 days.
A training period between Programme and Partner countries must last a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 60 days.
In both cases, this excludes travelling time.
Your training periods abroad can consist of job shadowing, observation periods, professional development courses or specific competence-building events, or workshops, but not conferences.
Attend Erasmus+ sessions orginized by International Office during the academic year, in order to learn about the possibilities that Erasmus+ programme offers. You can ask also for the individual meeting with Erasmus coordinator.
Check the list of Erasmus+ Inter-institutional Agreements between the UNG and the institutions from Programme Countries and the list of Erasmus+ Inter-institutional Agreements between the UNG and the institutions from Partner Countries.
