Erasmus Student Charter
In 2014, and then in 2020, the Institute of Slavic Studies PAS was awarded the Erasmus+ Charter for Higher Education, which opened the opportunity of participation in the programme.

The programme offers the following mobility opportunities:
1. For staff:
- teaching visits to foreign institutions of higher education (2–60 days, depending on the limit in a given academic year);
- trainings at foreign institutions, organisations and companies (e.g. courses, seminars, work shadowing);
- “blended mobilities” (teaching + training);
- teaching or training visits of specialists from foreign institutions.
Each Erasmus+ mobility by a staff member of the ISS PAS is listed as an achievement in the ISS PAS annual activity report, and information about the completed mobility and its outcomes is posted on the ISS PAS website under the “News” tab. Participation in the Erasmus+ programme is also taken into account when evaluating staff members at individual ISS PAS departments.
2. For PhD students:
- scholarships and internships in foreign countries and internships after completion of the PhD Programme (2–12 months);
- scholarships and internships for PhD students from foreign institutions.
If you wish to take advantage of these mobility opportunities, please contact the programme coordinator, specifying the institution of higher education of your choice. The institution must hold a valid Erasmus Charter for Higher Education and have an agreement in place with the Institute of Slavic Studies PAS concerning the exchange of academic staff and PhD students.
