This action supports higher education teaching staff to take part in professional development activities abroad as well as staff from the world of work to teach and train students or staff at higher education institutions.

Teaching Staff may carry out any of the activities described below:

A staff mobility period abroad can combine teaching and training activities. Any teaching or training period abroad may be carried out as a blended mobility.
