☰ Meni

The University of Primorska has published a new Erasmus+ KA131 Call for Staff Mobility for Teaching for the 2026/27 academic year. A total of 5 mobility places are available for UP FAMNIT and UP IAM staff members.

The programme offers staff members the opportunity to teach at partner higher education institutions abroad, exchange expertise and good practices, develop new teaching and digital skills, and strengthen cooperation with colleagues and partner institutions abroad.

Application deadline: 5 October 2026
Deadline for completing the mobility: 30 September 2027

Who can apply?

The call is open to University of Primorska employees employed at UP on a fixed-term or permanent contract, full-time or part-time. Applicants must have an active command of English or the host country’s language.

Mobility must take place at a higher education institution with which UP or the respective UP faculty has a valid Erasmus+ bilateral agreement.

The physical mobility period may last from a minimum of 2 days to a maximum of 2 months, excluding travel days. Teaching activities must generally comprise at least 8 teaching hours per week, or per shorter mobility period.

Teaching may also be combined with a training activity. In this case, the minimum teaching requirement is reduced to 4 hours.

Mobility funding

Selected candidates are eligible for Erasmus+ funding to contribute towards travel and subsistence costs. Under this call, subsistence funding is limited to a maximum of 4 mobility days and up to 2 travel days. The amount of individual support depends on the host country.

Travel support is determined according to the distance to the destination. The Erasmus+ programme also encourages green travel, such as travelling by train, bus or carpooling. In such cases, participants may be eligible for higher travel support and up to four additional funded travel days.

Applications must be submitted electronically via VIS in two steps:

1. Registration: Applicants must first register as new users. An access code will be sent to the email address provided during registration.

The deadline for submitting a complete online application is Monday, 5 October 2026.

Mobility within Transform4Europe

UP particularly encourages staff members to undertake mobility at partner institutions of the Transform4Europe (T4EU) European University Alliance.

Erasmus+ mobility can also be combined with mobility opportunities offered through T4EU calls, including the T4EU Chair Programme, provided that the same mobility costs are not funded from two different sources.
