Incoming

Staff mobility enables short stays by academic and non-academic staff (management, administration, and teaching) from European universities for continuing education purposes (e.g., job shadowing, seminars, workshops) at the University of Bern. The aim of such a stay is to gain insight into the administrative processes of one's own field of work at another institution and to acquire practical skills for one's own professional activity and development through the exchange of experiences and good practices. Participation in conferences cannot be financed.

You can apply directly online here.
