Erasmus+ staff exchange
Every two years we host an Erasmus+ staff exchange week, where staff members from other university language centres visit us for a week to observe our teaching and get to know the Language Centre.
Our organization
Available expertise within our Language Centre is in the fields of online language learning, academic writing, management, marketing, intercultural competence and translation services.

Previous edition
In 2025 we hosted an Erasmus+ staff exchange from 22-26 September, with participants from Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic and Ukraine. Our guests experienced the week as
“intensive, rewarding, interesting, inspiring and exhausting!”

We will probably host another Erasmus+ staff exchange week in 2027. If you are interested, keep an eye on this website, since it will be updated with more detailed information and the possibility to apply for the week once we have set the date.
