Staff mobility
We offer our staff members opportunities to participate in international cooperation and develop international skills in teacher and personnel exchanges.
All personnel – both teachers, R&D personnel and other personnel – have the opportunity to apply for an exchange mobility at a foreign university or organization. Personnel can also participate in international activities at Centria, by teaching in English-language trainings or participating in projects. Our teachers can also participate with a group of students in short term exchanges.
A limited number of Erasmus+ grants are available for mobilities. You can also go on a mobility without a grant, but then the educational program is responsible for all the costs. Priority is given to first-timers, UNIgreen mobilities and mobility involving students. After that comes mobilities which aim at developing the study program. Lastly comes those mobilities where the aim is to develop own personal competences.
