Go Abroad funding available for staff
Funding is available now for staff to spend a week teaching or training abroad.
The opportunity is open to all staff, whether from academic or professional services.
Opportunities exist across Europe as well as at selected partners outside of Europe.
Overseas opportunities
As well as funding for academic teaching visits abroad, funding is also available for training and career development activities. These could include:
- Improving your understanding of an aspect of your role at a workshop or staff training event
- Getting a new perspective on how things are done elsewhere by job shadowing counterparts at another institution
- Developing your professional and personal skills at an intercultural, international staff week
