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
  • Foster institutional engagement with TUM, through exchange of best practice and development of new formats of cooperation
  • 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
  • Support UQ faculties, schools and institutes to launch new projects and promote innovative, creative initiatives that further UQ’s Global Strategy objectives.
