Do you come from outside the EU and want to participate in the Erasmus+ exchange programme in Jena? Your stay here may be part of a staff training or academic mobility.

Taking part in the training, you can exchange with other participants on teaching and research methods, or engage in work shadowing. Within the academic mobility, you are expected to teach eight hours per week, for example, in individual courses, workshops, courses within summer or winter schools as well as in tandem with other academic staff.
