The University have received SEK 1.7 million for professional development activities in Europe

The University has received more funding for mobility this year. Lund University has received EUR 144,400 from the Erasmus+ mobility fund (around SEK 1.7 million). There is also a limited amount available for mobility to the United Kingdom.

The money is to be used for professional development abroad for technical and administrative staff, among others. Compared to 2022, this is an increase of 42%.

This money gives LU employees the chance to travel in Europe and learn from colleagues at other universities, organisations or companies within the EU/EEA. The mobility grant can be used by all professional categories for professional development activities. Green travel is also encouraged through an extra travel grant.

I hope that many of you use this opportunity and apply for funding.

More exchange program for technical and administrative staff

Technical and administrative staff at Lund University are welcome to apply for participation in an exchange program with Stellenbosch University in South Africa. The purpose of the programme is to promote global engagement and compare, evaluate, and develop work processes and tools.

Staff at LU can participate in zoom-meetings, host a colleague from Stellenbosch University in September, and job shadow a working environment at Stellenbosch University in November. The last day for the application is 17 May.
