Are you a Professor or Researcher and would like to gain experience abroad?

The University of Tuscia has supported the Erasmus+ program since its inception, considering it a crucial tool for the university’s internationalization process. In this regard, the university annually adopts strategies aimed at enhancing the mobility of students, faculty, and staff both inbound and outbound, with partner universities from European and non-European countries, to increase the attractiveness of the university, the quantity, and the quality of incoming and outgoing flows.

Study periods abroad are a fundamental component of the Erasmus+ program and have an extremely positive impact on the career prospects of participants. They also provide an opportunity to enhance language skills, increase self-confidence and independence, and immerse oneself in a new culture. Erasmus+ offers the additional opportunity to combine a study period abroad with an internship.

ERASMUS+ for UNITUS Staff

The Erasmus+ program promotes international mobility for teaching activities (Staff Mobility for Teaching – STA) and training activities (Staff Mobility for Training – STT) for both teaching and non-teaching staff at higher education institutions. Mobility periods can be carried out at institutions holding an ECHE (Erasmus Charter for Higher Education) with which an inter-institutional agreement has been established.

Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP)

The University of Tuscia promotes a call for university faculty members aimed at organizing a Blended Intensive Programme (BIP), an intensive program of study in collaboration with at least 2 other European Higher Education Institutions holding the Erasmus Charter for Higher Education (ECHE), plus potential non-European partners.

The BIPs should have the following characteristics:

• Be short-term intensive programs.
• Utilize innovative methods of learning and teaching.
• Combine mobility activities (min. 5 days – max 30) and blended activities.
• Enroll a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 20 participants (students and faculty) distributed among the University of Tuscia and other European higher education institutions holding ECHE.
• Include the recognition of at least 3 ECTS credits for participating students. For University of Tuscia students, these credits should be recorded in their academic record as elective credits (not extra credits). The responsible faculty member at the time of student selection should ensure that students have elective credits available in their academic record for recognition of the activity.
• Overall organizational period: from June 1, 2022, to October 31, 2023.
