Staff mobility is a key component of the Erasmus+ programme. Alongside student mobility, it has consistently been a focal point for ACA and many of its member organisations, most of which function as national agencies for Erasmus+. Staff mobility under Erasmus+ has a long-standing reputation as a highly versatile tool supporting professional and personal development of higher education staff across Europe. However, the broader institutional ramifications of staff mobility—spanning learning, teaching, research, and other central, faculty, and departmental processes, especially in an international context— have not been as prominently discussed.
This publication, Driving Impact of Erasmus+ Outgoing Academic Staff Mobility: Current Landscape and Pathways for the Future, represents the second instalment in the ACA’s series focusing on staff mobility within the Erasmus+ framework. It builds upon the earlier findings from the comparative data analysis of Erasmus+ staff mobility undertaken by ACA in 2021, in collaboration with nine Erasmus+ national agencies (Lam and Ferencz, 2021).
This study could not have been produced without the support and engagement of six members of the Academic Cooperation Association (ACA), national agencies for Erasmus+ in Austria, Croatia, Czechia, Hungary, Iceland and Slovenia: the Agency for Mobility and EU Programmes (AMEUP), the Centre of the Republic of Slovenia for Mobility and European Educational and Training Programmes (CMEPIUS), the Czech National Agency for International Education and Research (DZS), Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation (OeAD), Tempus Public Foundation (TPF), and the Icelandic Centre for Research (Rannís).
