Visiting Staff

UTE Lucerne promotes academic visitor programmes and endeavours to increase the number of exchange activities. Lecturers from partner universities are most welcome to arrange a research visit or academic stay at UTE Lucerne.

Visiting lecturers have the opportunity, to receive funding for a teaching activity through the Swiss-European Mobility Programme (SEMP).

Participants in the Swiss-European Mobility Programme can use the Interrail-Pass for Erasmus+.

A teaching assignment may range from a minimum of two days to a maximum of 60 days (excluding travel time). A minimum of eight teaching hours must be given in order to qualify for a subsidy.

The staff mobility for training (STT) is designed to offer further education to all university staff (lecturers, scientific assistants and administrative staff).

Visiting staff have the opportunity, to receive funding for a training activity through the Swiss-European Mobility Programme (SEMP).

Participants in the Swiss-European Mobility Programme can use the Interrail-Pass for Erasmus+.

A visit should last a minimum of two days, but not more than 60 days (excluding travel time). STT visits may be completed at a university or enterprise in Europe.

Shorter visits, attendance of conferences or workshops, and exchange with non-partner universities do not qualify for Swiss Solution to Erasmus+ funding. The UTE Lucerne International Office, however, may be able review and support such activities on a case-by-case basis.

Guest lecturers and staff from our partner universities are requested to first contact their home International Offices for application forms and subsidies, who will then liaise with the UTE Lucerne International Office.
