Incoming Staff Training Service

The Erasmus+ Program enables administrative staff to take advantage of the "Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Training", or a period of training at higher education institutions and / or companies present within one of the countries participating in the Program.

This type of mobility aims at the transfer of skills, the acquisition of practical skills and the learning of good practices by the beneficiaries.

Since 2018, the Incoming Staff Training Service will respond to Staff Training Incoming requests by organizing specific Erasmus Staff Training Weeks.

These training weeks deal with specific topics and aim to exchange information and best practices among colleagues.

Participants will benefit from this initiative in many ways:

• You will expand your network of professional contacts
• You will Increase your intercultural competences
• You will develop your professional skills and know-how
• You will get Inspiration, new ideas and motivation
