Outgoing Erasmus+ staff training mobility at ISTA
The Erasmus+ staff training mobility grant is funded by the European Union and enables ISTA to send staff to on-site trainings at other institutions within Europe in participating Erasmus+ program countries. The program offers great opportunities for acquiring knowledge and professional experience abroad to academic and administrative staff of ISTA.
The Erasmus+ staff training mobility program provides contributions to travel and subsistence (accommodation and living) costs to support your mobility abroad.
