Since 2015 Alliance 4 Universities has been taking part in Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility programme (Action KA171). Through this programme, students and staff from non-European partner universities can come on exchange for studies, research, teaching or training to A4U universities. Vice versa, students and staff from A4U universities can go on exchange to non-European countries.
The open calls for applications will be published below, and the previous calls and results are available here.
Subscribe to our mailing list and receive email notifications about new international mobility opportunities for PhD students, academic and teaching staff, and administrative staff across the four A4U and partners universities.
