Successful international credit mobility projects (Erasmus + KA107) support cooperation with third countries in the period 2020 - 2023

The so-called ‘international credit mobility’ offers various opportunities to travel abroad to gain experience, provide professional enrichment and personal development. Our faculty is very successful in this respect and offers a large number of internships and stays abroad. Since 2015, the Erasmus + programme has supported exchanges of students and university staff with countries outside Europe, preferably mobilities to the so-called ‘programme countries’ (i.e. to Europe).

Financial support can be allocated to both student and staff mobilities. Ing. Jana Ředinová, from the International Office of the FHSS USB, says: "Student mobilities for study stays and practical internships are supported, as well as mobilities of employees aimed at teaching and training." Mobilities with partner universities outside the partner countries can be implemented within approved projects. Unlike mobilities with programme countries, projects are always approved for a maximum period of 36 months. Applications are submitted as part of the annual call (usually by 2 February) and are also evaluated qualitatively.

In 2020, five of the six applications under the auspices of the FHSS USB were successful, and in the coming three-year period, cooperation projects with the following countries and partners will be addressed:
