Admission for Erasmus+ program for employees is now open | Gdańsk University of Technology

What’s new in the Erasmus+ program?

The main changes in the Erasmus+ program, which will apply until the end of the 2024/2025 academic year, are:

• introduction of four recruitment rounds instead of continuous recruitment;

• introduction of application assessment criteria: applications from the following individuals will be rated higher:
- those who have not previously participated in the program,
- those whose application pertains to a trip directly related to their work at the university,
- those whose application concerns a trip related to cooperation within the ENHANCE alliance,
- those who themselves host foreign guests within the Erasmus+ program and organize/co-organize staff weeks, summer schools, and other events at the university under Erasmus+ and other programs.

- The changes in the Erasmus+ program we decided to implement are primarily aimed at ensuring the best quality of the trips, encouraging mobility among employees who have not previously had such an opportunity, and developing cooperation within the ENHANCE Alliance – says Maria Doerffer, Erasmus+ University Coordinator.

Four recruitment rounds are planned until the end of the current academic year. In the upcoming round, applications can be submitted until February 14 (next rounds: until April 14, June 14, and July 14).
