Global staff mobility – including training, teaching, research or networking – brings huge value to BU and our students, whilst offering invaluable personal career experience.

We are pleased to announce that staff, both academic and professional support, can apply for funds to support these activities through Erasmus+ and Santander, under the Global Staff Mobility scheme.

Erasmus+ funds are a great way to build networks and gain experience.

Erasmus+ staff mobility funds can be used to support travel, accommodation and subsistence of academic and professional support staff attending training at an organisation or institution in Europe. It can also be used for academic staff wishing to teach at a European university. To be eligible, BU needs to have an agreement with the proposed University – you can check which organisations we have inter-institutional agreements with at globalBU.

You can find all the necessary application forms, FAQs and guidance at Global Staff Mobility

Santander staff mobility funding can be used to support travel, accommodation and subsistence costs for staff wishing to develop research, education and professional practice projects. This fund is ideal to support academic and professional support staff travelling to an international university within the Santander network in order to develop a collaborative relationship.

More information, including advice and how to apply, can be found at Global Staff Mobility

The deadline for applications is 9am on Friday 3^rd November 2017.

We will accept applications throughout the academic year but, where possible, we encourage submission during the advertised cycles.
