Erasmus+ for your guest lectureship

Guest lectureships at a partner university

Teaching staff at SRH University (professors, (external) lecturers, research assistants) can apply for funding for a stay at a European or international Erasmus+ partner university.

They can gain teaching experience abroad, make contacts and explore opportunities for co-operation. You may even be able to initiate a reciprocal teaching exchange so that you can offer lectures by a professor or lecturer from abroad in your degree programme in return...

Guest lecturers should strengthen the European dimension of the host university through their stay, complement its teaching programme and impart their specialist knowledge to students who may not want to or be able to study abroad. Where possible, the development of joint study programmes between the partner universities should play a role, as should the exchange of teaching content and methods.

Detailed information and the entire application process with all documents are available on request (request at least 6 - 8 weeks before departure, preferably earlier) at [email protected]

Amount of Erasmus+ funding

Erasmus+ funding is calculated from the country-specific daily allowance plus a travel allowance, which is allocated according to the distance between the home university and the host institution using the EU distance calculator. Up to 2 additional days of travelling can be funded if required.

An increased travel allowance (Green Travel) can be paid for travelling by low-emission means of transport such as train, bus or carpooling. The exact flat rates are listed in the overview (right). Up to 4 days of travel are possible.
