Knowledge and Staff Exchange

Knowledge and Staff Exchange is a programme offering short-term personal, professional and institutional development opportunities open to all support staff from all backgrounds and career stages from our Member universities. It aims at inspiring staff and universities to gain additional skills and discover new ideas.

Both in-person knowledge and staff exchange (i.e. physical mobility) or online knowledge and staff exchange (e.g. digital mobility) is encouraged.

The programme aims at three sorts of benefits:

1. personal development in terms of knowledge acquisition, skills development and international networking;
2. professional development by identifying differences and similarities with comparable job profiles and practices at another Member and by learning from each other through the exchange of views and best practices;
3. Institutional development through capacity building and benchmarking aimed at improving the quality of professional information and services to students and staff and at embracing a genuinely international culture and outlook of the own institution.
