Erasmus+ Funding: Teaching Mobility and Professional Staff Development
Erasmus+ is the new EU programme for Education, Training, Youth and Sport for the period 2021-2027. This seven year programme will have a budget of €25.9 billion to boost skills and employability as well as modernising education, training and youth work. Erasmus+ brings together seven existing EU programmes in the fields of education, training and youth and introduces sport for the first time. As an integrated programme, Erasmus+ will support transnational partnerships and will offer more opportunities for cooperation across these areas and will be easier to access than its predecessors, with simplified funding rules.
Through funding from the EU programme Erasmus+ all employees have the opportunity to visit one of AUB's many partner universities in Europe to gain international experience and qualifications, and to develop existing contacts.
