E+ Credit Mobility differs from the standard E+ program in that it supports exchanges of students and university staff with non-European, so-called partner countries. Mobility is implemented on the basis of successfully approved cooperation projects with selected universities. The specific offer of universities can thus change every year depending on the evaluation of submitted projects.

  • A teacher going on a teaching stay must have an employment relationship at MENDELU within the framework of an employment contract as an academic staff member.
