General Staff

Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for General University Staff promotes the acquisition of knowledge as well as professionally relevant experience abroad.

"The Erasmus+ training was extremely informative for the GTB area. Some of the topics were dealt with in the same or similar way, but others were dealt with in totally different ways. [...] We are looking forward to further exchanges with the HFBK Hamburg in the future, but also with other universities if necessary."
