Staff Mobility Project

The Ministry of Education, Sport and Youth following the partnership agreement with the Flemish Community signed on the 20th of September 2019 participates as a partner at the “Staff Mobility” project, situated within the framework of the Bologna Peer Support Group on Quality Assurance (QA).

The Staff Mobility project facilitates peer support for professional development by offering a work placement in another country to staff members working in the field of QA in Higher Education within national authorities, QA agencies and/or stakeholder organisations.

The duration of the mobility that is funded under the Staff Mobility Project is a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 14 days, corresponding to the details provided in the application form. As part of the acceptance of mobility funding and as a condition of reimbursement, the mobile staff member agrees to present a detailed report on the mobility, to be submitted to the Matchmaking Committee.

Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) on March 2020, numerous governments and organizations have placed travel bans on non-essential trips for outgoing and incoming staff. This had an impact on the Staff Mobility Project which led to the postponement of the program till further notice from the coordinators.
