TUM invites UQ academic and professional staff to apply for grants for teaching or training purposes, made available by the European Union under the international dimension of the Erasmus+ program.

Aims

• Provide financial support for staff mobility to TUM

• Further expanding and advance partnership initiatives in emerging focus areas such as Hydrogen & Green Energy, Food Sciences, Digital Agriculture & AI (e.g. Agrobotics and Automation, Digital Phenotyping, Plant Breeding and Genetics) as well as in the climate and environment research space (e.g. drought and water management)
• Enhance existing student mobility, especially to increase incoming mobility to TUM
• Deepen existing ties with the two institutions, in particular through exchange of administrative and academic staff on departmental and central level
• Enable the pursuit of key opportunities and nurturing partner networks identified as having the potential to advance UQ’s strategic objectives within priority countries
