HU employees can receive funding for vocational further training abroad. Possible formats include job shadowing, staff training weeks, workshops, language courses. You can find out how this works and what funding you can apply for here.

There are two Erasmus+ programmes that make this possible. The most direct option is offered by Erasmus+ Programme Countries (Europe). But further training with Erasmus+ Partner Countries (worldwide) is also available outside the European Union if certain requirements are met.
