Erasmus+ staff mobility

If you would like to come to our university for an Erasmus+ teaching mobility, you should allow 6-12 months to organize and prepare your stay. Please note that an Erasmus+ Inter-Institutional Agreement (IIA) is a prerequisite for this form of mobility.

If you do not yet have a contact person in the relevant department, please forward the following information to us so that we can put you in touch with respective colleagues:

• Curriculum vitae
• Preferred time and duration of the planned teaching stay
• Selection of subject areas
• Preferred language of instruction

The International Center will forward the information to the coordinators of the departments. After all sides agree, the Erasmus+ mobility agreement will be signed at the departmental level. The host department is responsible for supervising you during your stay.

If you would like to participate in Erasmus mobility for training and further education purposes, please contact the host institute or department at Leuphana University of Lüneburg at least one semester before your planned stay.

Please specify your preferred time and duration of your planned stay in your inquiry and include a CV and letter of motivation.

The International Center does not procure places within the framework of Erasmus+ for staff mobility.

An overview of the institutions can be found here:

Once both parties have reached an agreement, the Erasmus+ mobility agreement will be signed directly by the host department and, if necessary, a letter of invitation will be issued. The host department is also responsible for supervising you during your stay.

Staff weeks are currently not planned.

The sending university (International Office or Erasmus Office) is responsible for financial support through Erasmus+.
