Staff mobility

Staff mobility

Erasmus funding is also available for staff. If you are a member of the academic teaching staff employed by the University of Oxford you may be eligible for funding to teach at another institution that participates in Erasmus.

Eligibility

  • Teaching must take place in a Higher Education Institution which holds an Erasmus University Charter
  • Priority is given to teachers going abroad for the first time
  • There is an obligation to deliver at least 5 hours of teaching (i.e. at least one day). A minimum duration of 5 working days is strongly recommended and the maximum duration is 6 weeks

Financial benefits

  • A contribution towards travel costs up to a maximum of EUR 500
  • A contribution towards subsistence costs, which are calculated on a flat rate basis, depending on the country visited
  • Supplementary allowances may also be available for staff with special needs
  • All Erasmus funding is paid following completion of the staff mobility period

Requirements

  • A Bilateral Agreement must be in place by the summer before the academic year in which the staff teaching mobility is due to take place
  • Bilateral Agreements can only be signed by the University of Oxford’s Erasmus Coordinator
  • Specific grant documentation must be completed before the Erasmus funding is released
  • If the Bilateral Agreement involves an incoming member of staff, the receiving department/faculty would be responsible for organising their teaching arrangements
  • Visiting academic staff would be responsible for their own accommodation and would claim Erasmus funding from their home institution
