Staff mobility

Staff Mobility provides support and funding for academic and professional services staff to go abroad on short, normally week-long, teaching or training visits as part of their professional development.

Funding for 2022/23 activities

Due to the UK's departure from the EU, the 2022/23 academic year will be the final year in which we can offer Erasmus+ funding to support Go Abroad for Staff. 

We have now committed all remaining Erasmus+ funding for Europe and will be unable to support any new applications for funding unless previous applicants withdraw. 

We have very limited spaces available for non-European staff mobility.  Please contact staffmobility@ed.ac.uk if you would like to be considered for any funding which becomes available.
