Information
Taking into account the most recent developments of the COVID-19 pandemic we inform you that third party funding organisations such as the European Union and the DAAD are deciding on a case by case basis about prolongation of project durations and prolongations of calls (for instance „Strategische Partnerschaften“ of the EU). Therefore we kindly ask you to check the online portals of the EU, DAAD and others regulary to be up updated regarding your own project management. In case of questions, please feel free to contact our colleagues from the International Office:

A stay abroad is becoming increasingly important for your career. As a member of the teaching staff at the University of Jena, you have the opportunity to learn foreign education systems and to play an active part in shaping them, both in Europe or elsewhere in the world. On the following pages, you will find information about short-term teaching-related stays abroad.
