You have the option of a teaching
staff mobility or staff mobility for
training at GU.
Teaching Staff mobility includes teaching assignments that can come in various forms: seminars, lectures, workshops, and tutorials. All staff has to perform 8 teaching hours/week, including cooperative preparation and organisation of sessions as well as individual teaching sessions.
Staff mobility for training supports the professional development primarily of
non-academic staff in the form of training courses, workshops or job shadowing at
a department or staff training weeks.
There must be a valid inter-institutional agreement in the respective
subject area between GU and your home institution, including teaching mobility.
If you are interested in
participating in an individual teaching staff mobility or staff mobility for training
at GU, please consult your home institution
first to find out their opinion regarding the exchange. This way you can
acquire important information concerning the requirements of your home institution
regarding Erasmus teaching or staff exchange and possible funding options for
participants coming from a programme country (EU-member state country).
If you are planning a staff teaching
assignment at GU, we advise you to contact the faculty/departmental
coordinator for your subject at GU directly to enquire about the
possibility and timing of the visit. The coordinator will help you organize the
details of the visit such as dates, duration (usually 1-2 weeks) and content of
the teaching program, and is usually the person responsible for the final
decision on accepting visiting lecturers.
If you wish to undertake
individual training at any department or service unit within GU, please contact
the Global Office (GO) by writing to Ms Uta Brucker. You can additionally contact the person in charge at the department directly.
If you find a colleague at GU who
is available to host you and grant you insights in his/ her tasks, you can be
invited and attend a very individual Erasmus staff training. In so-called job
shadowing, you contact potential hosts, set the date and duration (usually
between two and five days) and discuss the topics that can be worked on
together with the target department or institution at GU. If you need help, we
can try to bring you in contact with relevant colleagues.
Please send
the following documents to the Global Office (GO) by writing to Ms Uta Brucker.
-
CV including
information on working language level
-
Motivation letter including information about the planned mobility period, the learning outcomes you want to achieve and the department you would like to work in.
We will then check your application and if it meets
the requirements, we will forward it to the appropriate institute/department.
Congratulations! If you have been accepted as a guest
trainee/ teacher, you will receive the following documents from your host:
-
Invitation letter
-
Signature
on your Mobility Agreement you have handed
him/her
To be well prepared for the visit, it is good to know…
If you receive a request to host a staff mobility visit and would be
interested in doing so, arrangements can be made directly with the prospective
visitor(s), though it would be helpful for the Global Office to be aware of the
visit.
We recommend asking for a CV and motivation letter. This will help you
to decide whether or not to accept the guest visit.
Staff with Erasmus+ funding from their home institution will usually
have some documents requiring signature - these should be signed by a member of
staff on behalf of the hosting department/subject area/administrative units and
will generally consist of:
Although the visitor
organises his stay on his own initiative and the sending university is
responsible for the financing, we are happy to help with further information.
