Aurora Staff Mobility
The Aurora Staff Mobility programme provides funding for teaching and research stays as well as for the initiation of such stays.
Guidelines
The Aurora European Universities Alliance is funding so-called Aurora Staff Mobility Grants in order to initiate the development of joint activities between academics of the Aurora Alliance universities in teaching and research. The call for proposals is deliberately open in order to support individual and tailor-made projects related to the objectives of the Alliance. Ideally, these should support mobility and scientific exchange as well as generate follow-up activities and more sustainable networks between the Aurora universities.
The call is addressed to all scientists of the University of Innsbruck.
- Cooperation with academics from at least one other university of the Aurora European Universities Alliance or use of facilities at another partner university
- Thematic connection to one of the Aurora Pilot Domains:
- Sustainability and Climate Change
- Health and Well-being
- Digital Society and Global Citizenship
- Culture: Diversity and Identity
- Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation
- Thematic linkage/examination with at least one of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
- Consideration of one of the following aspects:
- Promotion of interdisciplinary competences ("soft skills" or "future skills")
- Internationalisation
- Interdisciplinarity
- Interculturality
- Multilingualism
- Involvement of external stakeholders
- Feasibility of the projects
The aim is to distribute research funding as evenly as possible across the faculties.
Further information can be found in the current Call (DE) or Call (EN).
