Staff mobility
A staff mobility activity is a great way to pick up new ideas and practices, develop skills in your field, and build and develop international relationships.
Funding for staff mobility
Due to the UK's departure from the EU, we no longer have access to Erasmus+ funding to support international staff mobility. The UK's replacement international programme, the Turing Scheme, unfortunately does not currently offer any funding to support staff mobility.
We do not have any alternative central source of funding available to support training and development opportunities abroad. Funding to support such activities should instead be sought from your College/School/Professional Service budget.
The following links provide information about professional development opportunities abroad.
European staff weeks
Staff weeks offer an opportunity to network and knowledge share with institutions across Europe. Please note that most staff weeks have a cost attached.
