Inter-university Agreements - Mobility of Academics
Inter-university Agreements - Mobility of Academics
Charles University’s inter-university agreements enable academic staff members to travel abroad for short periods (1–3 weeks) for purposes of research, study, and teaching.
Most of the inter-university agreements that Charles University concludes with foreign partner universities support the mobility of researchers, doctoral students and post-doctoral students. These regard short-term (one- to three-week) research, study and lecture stays, which the academic staff arrange with their foreign partners in advance.
The numbers of the academic mobility are limited by contracts (i.e., numbers of days and persons per year), provided reciprocity and according to the current financial conditions of both universities. No academic staff is entitled to the academic mobility automatically.
A complete list of partner universities of Charles University currently involved in academic mobility schemes can be found here.
