Staff teaching

Visits normally last one week, with a minimum of 8 hours of teaching activity required per week (or part of week if the visit is shorter). 

It's also possible to combine a teaching and training week, with a reduced teaching load of 4 hours per week - this could enable you to gain some teaching experience with attendance at a workshop or training course, collaborative activity, research or other activity

Teaching activity may take the form of lectures, seminars, one-to-ones, PhD supervision, etc.  It can be at any level and could include teaching a summer programme. 

Staff teaching visits to Europe

Academic staff can apply for funding towards a teaching visit to any non-UK European university with which we have a valid Erasmus+ bilateral agreement.

It's possible to set up new agreements, usually quite quickly, so if you would like to teach at an institution which is not listed above, get in touch with us at staffmobility@ed.ac.uk and we can advise on the process.  

Staff teaching visits outside Europe

Funding is also available to support a teaching visit to one of our partner institutions outside Europe, via the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility programme.

Please note that it is not possible to set up agreements with new partners outside Europe – our international partners are fixed for the  academic year and we cannot support visits to any institutions not listed.

If you have queries about visiting any of these partners, please email erasmus+icm@ed.ac.uk. 

I just completed the week in Munich and it has been great, with a high attendance to my lectures and a very fruitful exchange with staff and students.
