ERASMUS+ outside Europe

This program allows MU staff to attend 7–14 days training at universities in Erasmus+ partner countries/ universities outside the European Union. Training mobility has the main objective of sharing experience between the two institutions (workshops, shadowing, etc.). An employee can apply for a training stay as both a trainer and a trained one.

Stella

The STELLA program, the mobility of non-academic staff within the universities included in the Compostela Group, allows both week-long internships to non-academic staff at a foreign university and various MU departments to offer a vacancy for a one-week internship for staff from a foreign university. MU membership in the CGU provides the university with the opportunity to send one non-academic employee to this program with a CGU grant.

Applications are submitted once a year at the beginning of each calendar year.
