Professional development beyond borders
The Erasmus+ programme offers staff at Agora University of Oradea opportunities to undertake teaching and professional training activities abroad, in cooperation with partner universities, institutions and organisations.
Staff mobility contributes to professional development, the exchange of good practices, the modernisation of academic and administrative activities, and the strengthening of the University's international cooperation.
Types of mobility
Staff Mobility for Teaching (STA)
Academic staff at Agora University can undertake teaching activities at partner universities abroad in their areas of expertise.
These mobilities provide opportunities to deliver lectures and seminars to international students, explore new teaching methods and develop academic cooperation, including curriculum development and joint projects.
Teaching requirements: a minimum of 8 teaching hours per week or for any mobility period shorter than one week. The teaching programme is agreed in advance with the host institution through a Mobility Agreement for Teaching.
Staff Mobility for Training (STT)
Training mobility is available to both academic and administrative staff. Activities may take place at universities, companies or other eligible organisations abroad.
Training activities may include:
- Job shadowing – observing the professional activities and practices of colleagues at partner institutions;
- Training courses and workshops – developing professional, digital, administrative or teaching skills;
- Exchange of good practices – learning about methods and procedures used by other institutions;
- Training within Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) – international activities combining physical participation and virtual collaboration.
Activities must be relevant to the participant's professional responsibilities and are agreed upon before departure through a Mobility Agreement for Training. Attendance at conferences alone is not considered an eligible staff training mobility activity.
Combined Teaching and Training Mobility
A mobility period may combine teaching and professional training activities, allowing participants to deliver lectures while also engaging in professional exchanges and development activities.
For combined teaching and training mobility, the minimum teaching requirement is 4 hours per week or for any mobility period shorter than one week.
Mobility duration
The eligible duration of standard staff teaching and training mobilities is:
- 2–60 days for mobility between EU Member States and countries associated with the Erasmus+ programme;
- 5–60 days for mobility involving countries not associated with the programme, subject to the applicable project conditions.
Travel days are not included in these durations. Participation in Blended Intensive Programmes (BIPs) is subject to their specific duration and eligibility requirements.
Who can participate?
Erasmus+ staff mobility opportunities are available to employees of Agora University of Oradea, depending on the type of activity:
- Academic staff – teaching mobility (STA) and training mobility (STT);
- Administrative and non-academic staff – training mobility (STT).
Participants must meet the applicable professional and language requirements and propose a programme of activities relevant to their professional development and the University's institutional objectives.
Staff members may participate in multiple Erasmus+ mobilities, subject to the University's Erasmus+ Regulation and the availability of funding.
