Outgoing Staff Mobility

The procedures for the application and selection of VUM staff members to participate in an Erasmus+ staff mobility as well as the general rules applicable in the process of management and administration of the Erasmus+ programme at the institutional level are stipulated in the Erasmus+ Rules and Regulations at VUM document accessible here. The document is validated by VUM Rector’s Council.

The Application Form for staff mobility for teaching and for staff mobility for training should be emailed to erasmus@vumk.eu. Further to this, a written confirmation from the direct supervisor (for the academic staff – VUM Academic Director) confirming the indicated period of mobility is to be provided.

Selection criteria

Eligible applicants shall be full-time employees of VUM.
