General information:

Objective: Teaching assignments of university teachers from TU Wien at foreign universities, or guest lectures given by staff of international companies at TU Wien.

Requirements: The host university must have an Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education (ECHE) and a bilateral agreement with TUW.

Programme countries: The 27 EU Member States, UK (till academic year 2022/23), Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, FYR Macedonia, Turkey.

Duration of stay: 2 days up to a maximum of 2 months. The teaching assignments are usually short visits not exceeding one week. The minimum requirement for a teaching assignment is 8 teaching hours.

The course  taught should be integrated into the corresponding curriculum at the host university. Your contribution can be made either as an independent course, or as part of an existing one.

Teaching assignments are financed by TUW from the funds of the Erasmus+ Programme. Travel and hotel expenses are reimbursed based on receipts and daily flat rates. Travel to and from the airport with public transport (taxis in justified exceptional cases only) counts as part of the journey. Please pay attention to economy costs!

Travel green with the Interrail Pass for Erasmus+, opens an external URL in a new window = train ticket that allows unlimited travel on participating European train networks, ferries and public transport companies for either 4 or 6 days within a 6-month period. The pass can therefore also be used to visit your host country or neighboring countries during your stay abroad. The pass is only available to Erasmus+ participants, students and staff residing in a European country.
