“blended mobilities” (teaching + training);
inbound teaching visits of specialists from foreign institutions, organisations and companies.

2. For PhD students:

scholarships and internships in Programme and Partner Countries (3–12 months) and internships after completion of the PhD Programme (2–12 months);
inbound internships for PhD students from institutions in Programme or Partner Countries (3–12 months).

Erasmus+ mobility opportunities are open for individuals and organisations from Programme and Partner Countries. The Programme Countries are all EU member states as well as Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, North Macedonia, Serbia and Turkey. The Partner Countries are states neighbouring the EU and some other countries eligible to participate in some Actions under Erasmus+ under certain conditions. The list of Partner Countries is subject to annual update.

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 concerning the exchange of academic staff and PhD students.

If the institution of your choice is in a Partner Country, you should contact the Programme Coordinator well in advance. Please note that the procedure will take longer, as it requires concluding a special agreement.
