The Faculty of Medicine, Rijeka, offers opportunities for teaching mobility for academic staff and staff training for both academic and administrative staff through the Erasmus+ programmes. Mobilities can
can be combined to meet specific educational and professional goals.

These programme allow staff (teaching and administrative) to engage in teaching at partner institutions abroad, as well as to participate in training, job shadowing, and other professional development activities, enhancing both academic and administrative skills within an international context. Through this, the Faculty fosters knowledge exchange, strengthens professional networks, and contributes to the overall quality and internationalization of higher education.

Duration of Mobility

• Teaching Mobility: The duration of mobility for teaching  can range from a minimum of 2 days (with at least 8 hours of teaching) to a maximum of 60 days, excluding travel days.
• Training Mobility: Staff training mobility must last at least 2 days, with a maximum duration of 60 days, excluding travel days.

• Combination of Teaching and Training: If teaching is combined with training during the same period abroad, the minimum number of teaching hours per week is reduced to 4 hours (or for any shorter period of stay). If the mobility lasts for more than one week, the minimum number of teaching hours for any partial week must be proportional to the duration of that week.

The activity must be continuous and cannot be interrupted, unless there are justified reasons.

Requirements

Staff mobility for teaching purposes at partner higher education institutions can only be realized based on bilateral agreements established between the Faculty of Medicine Rijeka and foreign higher education institutions that holds the Erasmus University Charter.

For teaching mobility activities, participants must hold a scientific-teaching position or artistic-teaching position or be in a assistant teaching position. It is also possible for a research assistant to participate, provided they are involved in teaching activities.

For training mobility, participants may be bot academic and administrative staff.
