Teaching, Researching and Training abroad
Programmes and funding opportunities for Dresden College of Music staff
Erasmus+ supports guest teaching at European partner universities holding a valid ERASMUS Charter for Higher Education (ECHE). With their stay abroad, guest teachers shall enhance the European dimension of their host university, broaden its course offer, and pass on their knowledge to those students who don’t want to or can’t study abroad. If possible, the development of common study programmes as well as an exchange of teaching content and methods shall be part of the guest lectureship.
General conditions:
- Possible destination countries: Teaching mobilities must take place in an Erasmus+ programme country or partner country which must not be the applicant’s country of principal residence. Currently, we have an Erasmus agreement in the partner country Isreal.
- Duration: Teaching staff stays within Europe last between two days and two months (travel time not included), in the partner country at least five days.
- Number of teaching lessons: the teaching load for each stay or each week or part thereof is a minimum of eight hours.
The following persons are entitled to receive support:
- Professors
- artistic and scientific staff members
- Lecturers
The teaching mobility can be hosted by an Erasmus partner institution of HfM Dresden:
Erasmus enables staff to draw on professional development training in programme countries to promote the college’s internationalisation.
