General information
With additional funding, a significant expansion of the previous student and staff mobility in the Erasmus program has been created since 2015: The introduction of the international dimension.
In future, both student mobility for study purposes in all study phases and staff mobility for teaching, further education and training can be funded between Erasmus program countries in Europe and selected partner countries around the globe.
An important difference compared to cooperation with program countries is that the focus is on incoming mobility.
Applications for the KA171 program line (Erasmus+ worldwide) can be submitted in February of each year. The contact person at the International Office is Dr. André Menke; antragscoachingfh-dortmundde
