Mobility for training and education purposes (STT)
Erasmus+ enables further education and training measures for higher education staff in program countries to expand internationalization.
For training purposes, higher education staff from a German higher education institution with ECHE may be sponsored to a host higher education institution with ECHE or another institution established in another program country that is active in the labor market or in the fields of education, training or youth.
The stays abroad last for a minimum of two days and a maximum of two months.

Funding rates Staff mobility
The financial support of Erasmus+ mobility measures for teaching purposes or for further education and training is based on the different costs of living in the target countries ("program countries"). Uniform daily rates apply for funding by German universities.
In the project year 2020/21, the following fixed daily rates apply for Germany for four country groups up to the 14th day of the stay; from the 15th to the 60th day of the stay, the funding amounts to 70% of the named daily rates:
| Group 1 | Denmark, Finland, Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Norway, Sweden | 180 Euro per day |
| Group 2 | Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain | 160 Euro per day |
| Group 3 | Bulgaria, Estonia, Croatia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Northern Macedonia, Czech Republic , Turkey, Hungary | 140 Euro per day |
These daily rates are supplemented by travel costs depending on the actual distances between the origin and destination of the mobility, which are determined uniformly throughout Europe using a calculation tool.
The following amounts are reimbursed per stay and depending on the distance:
| 100 km - 499 km | 180 euros |
| 500 km - 1,999 km | 275 euros |
| 2.000 km - 2.999 km | 360 Euro |
| 3.000 km - 3.999 km | 530 Euro |
| 4,000 km - 7,999 km | 820 Euro |
