VIU's Academic Programs provide a truly multicultural, international, and interdisciplinary environment for students and professors of the member universities.
VIU now has the opportunity to enrich the international experience to staff in the member universities by offering pathways to visit other member universities.

Financial Support:
Erasmus+ provides funding for staff mobility as a grant contribution towards subsistence (individual support) and travel.
The Erasmus+ Programme has introduced a “Green Travel” supplement to encourage mobility participants to choose sustainable modes of transport to their destination, such as travelling by bus, train, or car-pooling.
The Individual Support grant is a contribution towards all other costs for the individual including travel within the city, accommodation, meals and snacks.
Actual costs can be reimbursed up to these maximums, and are paid on the basis of receipted expenditure.
Individual support for up to 2 travel days may also be funded if requested at time of application. This can be increased to 4 travel days when Green Travel is used,
subject to request, approval and availability of funds.
The selected Staff will be responsible for arranging their own travel and insurance.
