Teaching and Research Abroad

Whoever makes things happen for themselves does the same for Europe!

The Erasmus+ program funds teaching assignments at European partner institutions that have an inter-institutional agreement with the University of Potsdam. Guest lecturers are meant to strengthen the European dimension of the host institution, enhance the partner institution’s course offerings, and convey specialized knowledge to students who cannot or do not want to study abroad. Students in Potsdam also benefit of course from your international experience. In the context of lecturer mobility, international stays should include the development of joint programs of study at both partner institutions, and the exchange of teaching content and methodology. Your teaching stay must include at least eight hours of instruction per week. You can apply for a teaching stay if you have an employment contract with the University of Potsdam. Lecturers without funding, visiting lecturers with work contracts, professors emeritus, and retired teachers can apply.
