TU Darmstadt as host for incoming staff

Erasmus Staff Mobility is an integral part of the Erasmus+ program, which aims to promote professional development and collaboration among staff at higher education institutions across Europe.

It offers academic and non-academic staff the opportunity to participate in mobility activities for training or teaching purposes, contributing to personal development and institutional excellence.

TU Darmstadt is an active member of various international networks and maintains over 400 international partnerships worldwide. We enthusiastically participate in various collaborative projects and mobility programs. As part of these networks, your institution benefits from shared resources, joint initiatives, and the rich exchange of knowledge and culture. Our participation in these networks enables us to offer our staff exceptional opportunities for professional growth, intercultural experiences, and collaboration with colleagues from other leading technical universities across Europe.
