Contact the ERASMUS Partner University

As soon as the bilateral ERASMUS agreement has been signed, or if such an agreement already exists, the staff member has to contact the respective department of the partner university in order to settle the conditions and organisation of the training exchange (time period of exchange, duration and schedule, possible working space etc.).

The Mobility Office of the University of Lucerne does not place staff at ERASMUS partner universities. Staff members, who want to do an exchange, are responsible for the organisation of the exchange.
