The main objective of ERASMUS+ program for staff is to enable any staff, including staff from enterprises, to teach or train abroad as part of their professional development in order to:

• share their expertise
• experience new teaching environments
• acquire new innovative pedagogical and curriculum design skills and digital skills
• connect with their peers abroad to develop common activities to achieve the program’s objectives
• exchange good practices and enhance cooperation between higher education institutions
• better prepare students for the world of work by involving staff from enterprises in courses.

Staff mobility can be carried out from any Program Country to any other Program Country or any Partner Country. To ensure high-quality mobility activities with maximum impact, the mobility activity must be related to the staff’s professional development and to address their learning and personal development needs.

Staff may carry out any of the activities described below:

Erasmus+ Teaching Mobility (STA: Staff mobility - teaching assignments) abroad at a partner higher education institution. The teaching period abroad enables any teaching staff at a higher education institution or staff from enterprises to teach at a partner higher education institution abroad. Staff mobility for teaching can be in any study field.

Erasmus+ Staff Training Mobility (STT: Staff mobility – staff training) abroad at a partner higher education institution, enterprise, or any other relevant workplace. The training period abroad enables any staff at a higher education institution to take part in a training activity abroad that is relevant to their day-to-day work at the higher education institution. It may take the form of training events or job shadowing.
