Faculty and Staff Mobilities

UCV promotes the internationalisation of teaching and research staff (PDI) and administrative and support staff (PAS) through:

  • International mobility for teaching or training
  • Internationalisation at home initiatives such as virtual exchanges (COIL), receiving staff from other institutions, or organising international weeks
  • The acquisition of English language skills to provide an academic offer and a set of services adapted to the needs of an international environment

The invitation of professionals from companies using Erasmus funds to give lectures or workshops in undergraduate, master's programmes, international weeks, etc.

This amount is calculated based on the distance between UCV and the host university, using the official Erasmus+ distance calculator. The amount granted depends on the travel distance and whether a sustainable mode of transport is used:

Between 10 and 99 km: €56per participant  €28 per participant
Between 100 and 499 km: €285 per participant €211 per participant

Modes of transport considered sustainable by the EU:
