Staff mobility

Erasmus+ co-funds teaching, training or job shadowing at an institution abroad for FVO teaching and professional staff, lasting from two days to two months. There is no application deadline: you can plan mobility around your schedule, and applications are accepted until the available funding is exhausted.

In June 2026, Peter Meža, PhD, taught at the University of Zadar through Erasmus+. In 2026, FVO staff also visited institutions in Georgia and China.

Types of mobility

Teaching, training or both

Mobility lasts at least two consecutive days (five in third countries not associated with the programme) and no more than two months, excluding travel days. Conference attendance is not eligible.

Teaching

At least eight teaching hours per week at a partner higher education institution holding an ECHE charter and an agreement with FVO. The host must approve the programme in advance.

Training

Professional development, a study visit or job shadowing at a higher education institution or another organisation abroad, including a company.

Combined mobility

Teaching and training during the same period, with at least four teaching hours per week. Priority is given to mobility that develops teaching, digital or curriculum design skills.

Invited speakers from companies

FVO can invite experts from companies abroad to teach at the Faculty. There is no minimum number of teaching hours, and visits can last just one day.

Step by step

From the idea to the report

You may apply if you are employed by FVO or have a contractual relationship with the Faculty both when applying and during your mobility. If you also work elsewhere, provide confirmation that you have not received funding for the same mobility from another employer.

Agree the visit with your host

Obtain an invitation letter or email from the host. Alternatively, list up to three preferred institutions in your application and the International Office will make the initial contact.

Submit your application

Complete the online application form. Send your motivation letter and teaching or training programme to erasmus@fvo.si, or submit them to the International Office.

Selection

Selection criteria include motivation, achievements at FVO, and teaching and research excellence. Priority is given to first-time applicants and staff who have not cancelled previously approved mobility. Appeals against the decision must be submitted to the FVO Senate within eight days.

Sign the agreements and travel

Before departure, sign a Mobility Agreement with the host and a grant agreement with FVO. You arrange your own accommodation and insurance.

Submit your documents after returning

Within 14 days, submit the Statement of Host Institution, mobility report and, for teaching visits, confirmation of lectures to the International Office. Submit your travel expense claim and receipts to Accounting. Complete the European Commission survey within 30 days of receiving the invitation.

Financial support

How much support is available?

The grant covers travel and subsistence. It reimburses actual expenses recorded in the travel expense claim, up to the programme limits, with part paid before departure and the balance after settlement. One travel day before and one after the mobility are eligible; green travel allows up to four additional days.

Zero-grant mobility, special needs and shorter stays

Mobility is also possible without Erasmus+ funding (zero grant). Participants with special needs may apply for additional support after selection, subject to CMEPIUS approval; accompanying persons are reimbursed for actual expenses. If funding does not cover all requested days, FVO first shortens longer mobility periods.
