Opportunities for Staff

Get inspired by RUN-EU staff mobility
RUN-EU staff mobility offers you the chance to connect with colleagues from across the alliance, exchange ideas, and gain new perspectives on your work. Whether you are involved in teaching, research, administration, or student support, there are different ways to benefit from international collaboration.
Staff mobility can help you develop professionally, strengthen your international network, and bring new ideas back to your home institution. It is also a valuable opportunity to learn from colleagues, explore different working environments, and contribute to cooperation across RUN-EU. You could, for instance, attend a workshop for pedagogical development, join a RUN-EU research group, or participate in a learning opportunity yourself.
Many staff mobility activities can be supported through Erasmus+ or RUN-EU funding schemes. Your home institution’s RUN-EU office or International Office can advise you on suitable opportunities, funding options, application steps, and approval requirements.
