1. Develop an idea for a stay
   Possible options include teaching placements, work shadowing, participation in workshops, seminars or language courses. It is always important that the stay is job-related.
   In the case of teaching or work shadowing, contact a university or college participating in Erasmus+ and enquire about the possibility of a work visit. For everything else, look for an offer yourself. The Staff Training Week, for example, is eligible for funding.
    
2. Obtain permission from your supervisor and secure authorisation from your representative.
    
3. Submit your application to the International Office.
   A selection committee consisting of a representative of the lecturers, a representative of the lecturers and a representative of the administration will decide on your application. Decisions on all applications are made promptly so that you can plan your stay in good time if your application is approved. Preference is given to employees who have not completed an Erasmus+ stay in the last two years.

These funds are intended for organisational costs (e.g. printing posters/flyers) and for a pleasant reception (e.g. invitation to a restaurant). Please send an e-mail with the cost estimate to the International Office at least three weeks before your stay. Please use the "Antrag auf Erstattung privat verauslagter Mittel" for billing purposes.
