Erasmus+ - teacher exchanges and staff training
Get to know your European colleagues through an exchange in another European country. Erasmus+ supports you as a student, teacher, and administrative staff to gain international experiences and contacts.
Teacher exchange
There are certain procedures that are specific to teacher exchanges within Erasmus+. Read more in Guide to teacher exchange in Erasmus+.
You can read about general procedures that apply to all teacher exchanges, regardless of the exchange program, on International exchange for teachers and staff.
Staff training
Are you interested in competence development? Erasmus+ offers the opportunity for staff training at universities, organizations, companies or schools in other European countries. Your training has to last at least two days (maximum 6 weeks) and the purpose has to be to increase your competence level. As teacher you can also do a staff training. The remuneration is the same as for teacher exchanges. Read more about Guide to Erasmus+ staff exchange.

The levels are determined by the rules of the specific scholarship fund from which the funds are taken. Since a breakpoint occurs 31 July, 2025, where new rules come into effect, you should use the table with standard amounts that corresponds to your planned exchange period – either before or after this date.
