Staff Mobility

Staff mobility within the CHARM-EU Alliance supports professional development, international collaboration, and skill enhancement by offering academic and non-academic staff access to teaching, training and other types of peer learning opportunities funded through Erasmus+.

You want to build relations with your partner university in the CHARM-EU Alliance?
Here is how to go about it.

CHARM-EU wants to make collaboration through staff mobility within the alliance as easy as possible. If you already have working relationships with your partner institution, there is no need to channel your communication through the CHARM-EU offices.

If you already know a colleague from the partner institution personally or you have the right contact information: Please get in touch with your colleague directly and arrange the plans and the administration of the staff mobility according to your own plans.

If you do not yet have a personal contact, but have a specific person or unit in mind, which you would like to contact:

  • Feel free to use the contact information available on each university’s website to get in touch with your colleagues directly.

If you do not yet have a contact at the CHARM-partner institution, but are interested in a particular school, department, unit, research project at the partner university, or your first attempts at establishing contacts were unsuccessful:

  • CHARM-EU offers you assistance in establishing contacts. For this purpose, please fill in the form „Expression of Interest in staff mobility“ and give as much information as possible on yourself, the intention of your visit and the proposed collaboration.
  • Send this form to the CHARM-Manager at your institution or to your International/ERASMUS Office, dealing with staff mobility. They will send it to their contacts at the CHARM-partner institution who will in turn forward it to the appropriate person or unit in their university.

While the CHARM- and Erasmus-offices will do their best to support your interest and request, they can not guarantee that a strong contact or staff visit will materialise out of your initiative. But through passing your request through the CHARM-channels, your potential partner will be made aware of your membership in this particular alliance, endorsing it with the quality label it represents.

Please also note:
If you want to go on a teaching or training visit or invite your colleague from abroad to visit you, please check with your International or Erasmus Office about the possibilities the Erasmus+ programme offers.
