ERASMUS+ at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg
The BTU has been actively involved in ERASMUS+ and its predecessor programmes for more than 20 years. Currently, the BTU maintains ERASMUS+ cooperations with more than 180 universities in European and non-European countries.
With the start of the new programme generation in 2021, ERASMUS+ applications and cooperations will be possible in all three key actions. The IRO regularly informs about the call dates and modalities.
Key Action 1 – Learning Mobility of Individuals
Applications are submitted centrally each year via the IRO.
Within the framework of the programme, students, lecturers and university staff can be supported during stays abroad at partner institutions with the following offers:
- Study abroad for students (SMS)
- Internships abroad for students (SMP)
- Mobility of lecturers (STA)
- Mobility of university staff (STT)
