Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences can organise guest lectureships at partner universities in Programme and partner countries of the Erasmus programme financially.

Erasmus+ funds guest lectureships at European partner universities that hold an Erasmus University Charter. In addition, stays at non-European institutions with which the home university has concluded an Erasmus+ cooperation agreement can be funded.

Through their stay, the guest lecturers should strengthen the European dimension of the host university, complement its teaching programme and impart their specialist knowledge to those students who are unable to study abroad. This should include the development of joint study programmes between the two partner universities and the exchange of teaching content and methods.

All members of Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences with teaching duties are eligible to participate. Teaching assignments must comprise at least two days and at least eight teaching hours.

The Erasmus+ programme offers the following services for teaching mobility at partner universities:

• Flat rate for travelling expenses (differentiated according to distance)
• Lump sum for accommodation costs (differentiated by destination country)
• Special grants for participants with disabilities

As a further supportive measure for the internationalisation of universities, further education and training measures for university staff from all areas (teaching and administration) at universities and companies/institutions outside Germany are possible.

All employees, lecturers and retired lecturers at Nordhausen University of Applied Sciences are eligible to participate. Stays abroad should last at least two working days.

The Erasmus+ programme offers the following services for mobility for further education and training purposes at partner universities:

• Flat rate for travelling expenses (differentiated according to distance)
• Lump sum for accommodation costs (differentiated by destination country)
• Special grants for participants with disabilities
