Erasmus Staff Training offers a great opportunity to spend from two days to a week elsewhere in Europe, either at one of our partner universities or within another organisation.

If you are interested, why not come to our lunchtime information session on Friday 7 November 12.30-14.00 to find out more and hear from Kent staff who have participated in the past.

Lunch will be provided and places are limited so please register by emailing Emma Marku by 31 October.

The week can be spent in a number of ways:

• job shadowing someone in a similar role
• attending one of our partner universities’ ‘International Weeks’
• attending a conference or a training course (conference/course fees are not covered by the Erasmus scheme but your dept/Staff Development may be able to contribute).

Colleagues who have participated in the past report many benefits including:

• learning and sharing new ideas
• developing new skills
• being inspired by new colleagues and different outlooks
• discovering best practices to bring back to the UK
• establishing a network of new international contacts and generally having an enjoyable experience abroad!

There will be a separate event held at Medway. Details to follow.
