Exchanges and collaboration
STAFF MOBILITY
All staff at Karlstad University are eligible to apply for staff mobility. Opportunities are available within the Erasmus programme for both training and teaching assignments, primarily at higher education institutions in Europe, but to some extent also in other parts of the world. Staff mobility periods are typically one week.
Doctoral candidates also have the opportunity to participate in Erasmus mobility, either as staff or as students in order to work on their doctoral thesis (including both study periods and traineeships).
Further information about staff mobility is available on Inslaget, the university’s intranet, which is accessible to all employees.
