What types of mobility are there?

Short Residency Mobility
The duration can be from a minimum of 2 days to a maximum of 5 days, excluding travel days. Mobility may be for teaching/training/research (PROF) or training (PROF/PAS). International mobility expressly excludes attendance at congresses, lectures or conferences as well as presentation of publications. The residency can be carried out until September 30, 2024.
- The aim of a staff mobility from a higher education institution to a company is to enable participants to learn from the transfer of knowledge or competences and to acquire practical skills.
- The aim of a staff mobility from a higher education institution to another higher education institution is to enable participants to learn from the experiences and good practices of the partner institution and to improve the skills required for their current job.
Job shadowing: observation period in a company/institution/university (PROF/PAS).
International Week: an opportunity to get in contact with staff and professors from various international universities. It allows you to get to know other work formats, attend specialized conferences, learn best practices, participate in specific workshops, put your theoretical and linguistic knowledge into practice, and, in short, discover new horizons both academically and professionally. Consult the training opions here (PROF/PAS).
Training courses: training offered by a company/institution/university. Courses (PROF/PAS).
Teaching mobility: teaching at a partner institution. Erasmus places (PROF) For teaching activities between higher education institutions in Erasmus program countries, both institutions must have signed an inter-institutional agreement. A minimum of 8 teaching hours will be taught during the stay. If the teaching mobility is requested outside the Erasmus program (UFV funds) it is not necessary to have a previous institutional agreement between both institutions and the minimum number of hours will be established by agreement of both parties.
Long Residency Mobility
The duration may be from a minimum of two weeks to a maximum of one academic term. It may be a research or teaching project.
Virtual Residency Mobility
The aim of this project is to contribute to the mobility and exchange of professors, in a virtual manner, so that, within the framework of Internationalization at Home, it has an impact on the development of skills derived from the international experience of both professors and students.
Virtual mobility can develop very simple and brief activities, such as a master class, and other more complex activities that can last up to a full semester. Through these collaborative activities, professors can build a network of contacts that can lead to the development of research projects and articles.
The universities with which we most frequently collaborate to develop virtual mobility are those that are part of our international networks (RIU- Regnum Christi International Universities and The Hague Network).
How do I start? Here are some notes on concepts, methodology and specific aims. Documents, presentation and video .
The different calls for applications are published in the section Opportunities
