Would you like to develop yourself? Have an international experience? Be inspired by and/or inspire other colleagues abroad? Teach or do some research abroad?
RSM Exchange Office can be help to find ways to do for example job shadowing, participate in an international staff week or teach/do research at one of our partner schools.
Why do a staff exchange?
Not only does visiting a university abroad provide you with an inspiring learning experience, it also offers you the chance to improve and further develop your professional skills and competences, as well as the opportunity to share your experience, knowledge and ideas with your colleagues abroad.
What are the available options?
Your international experience can take on various forms: you could e.g. go abroad and visit a colleague at another European university on a job shadowing visit. You will be matched to an employee (or team) in your field of work. An international colleague can also - in return or not - come to RSM and shadow you. If you choose to go on a job shadowing visit, you will be matched to one of our partner universities, all located within the EU. Therefore, the language of instruction will be either in English, or the local language.
Another option is to attend a staff week organized by one of our partner schools. This can take up to 2 and 5 days.
Following a training (including language courses) or workshop at one of our partner universities, or going for a study visit, are also among the possibilities.
Other options include: promotion and/or follow-up/monitoring of Erasmus+ mobility, and planning of future Erasmus+ co-operation, teaching and research projects.
Please note that conferences are excluded
For information on all staff mobility (professional services, academics), see also this EUR website.

Personal stories about staff exchange
My Erasmus staff exchange to Rotterdam School of Management was an amazing experience. The International Relations Office gave me such a warm and friendly welcome, while showing me the Erasmus University Campus. She really went out of her way to make me feel welcomed and appreciated, which made the whole week even more enjoyable. I got to meet so many great people from different departments. The discussions with the professional service staff were super engaging, and we had a lot of fun sharing ideas and comparing how things are done at our higher education institutions. Spending time with the Exam Center was the best part of the exchange. Their team shared so many helpful insights about their processes and creative ways they handle exams. It was really inspiring to see how much thought they put into making exams run smoothly and equally for all students. Overall, this exchange was a fantastic mix of learning, connecting with amazing people, and gathering ideas that I’m excited to bring back to Stockholm School of Economics. I’m so grateful for the experience and I hope we can continue networking in the future.
