ERAMUS+ funds visiting professorships at European partner institutions (STA1) which comply with the ERASMUS university-charter and have signed a mutual agreement with the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar. By working at international institutions, visiting professors are intended to strengthen the European profile of the host institution, complement their teaching portfolio, and share their own expert knowledge with students unable or unwilling to study abroad. It is encouraged that the visit enables the development of joint programmes with the partner institutions, as well as the exchange of teaching methods and contents.

Visiting professorships must entail at least eight hours of teaching, and may last no more than six weeks (based on the programme guidelines). The University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar, however, supports such international visits for a maximum of seven days. It is also possible to receive support for courses conducted by international non-academic personnel at German institutions (STA2) in order to strengthen co-operations between agencies, concert halls, opera houses, and others.

As a further means of supporting the internationalisation of Higher Education institutions, skills training and development of university staff (administration and teaching) may also be undertaken at European institutions of Higher Education and international companies/institutions. The visit should last at least one week (five working days) and no more than six weeks (based on the programme guidelines). The University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar, however, supports such visits for only one week. In certain circumstances, visits of less than one week may also be funded.
