Andrea Mervik, Librarian, HT Libraries

Andrea wanted to improve her skills and took a course in Digital Humanities at the University of Oxford.

Annakim Eltén and Ann-Sofie Zettergren, Librarians

Annakim and Ann-Sofie were working more and more with data management support for researchers and needed to develop their skills. They took the opportunity to visit several different categories of staff at the University of Oxford.

Lu Yi Nilsson, International Coordinator, Faculty of Social Sciences

When Lu Yi was still working in the International Office of the HT Faculties, she travelled to Nottingham for a language course.

Malin Stråby, Finance officer, Centre for Languages and Literature

As a finance officer, Malin had handled many travel expenses from travelling teachers. Now she felt it was her turn to develop her skills abroad.

Stefan Lindgren, Humanities Lab

Stefan has travelled a lot as part of his job. With Erasmus+ staff training, he has been to places such as Pisa and Rome to assist with digital measurements and to develop his own technical expertise.

Valeria Naters, Research Coordinator

A love of the Italian language, coffee and culture gave Valeria the courage to apply for an Erasmus+ staff training placement at Sapienza Università di Roma.

Camila Borges Freitas, Library and Information Science

A non-profit archive in Paris is of great interest to Camila's research, which is why she visited it in spring 2023, with the help of Erasmus+ staff training funding.

Greer Jarrett, Historical Archaeology

Researching Viking ships and sailing, Greer applied for an Erasmus+ traineeship grant to spend almost a full year in Norway at an experimental folk high school. He really got the chance to learn more about boat building and sailing, and was able to map possible Viking routes.

Irene Lami, Italian Linguistics

A well-known senior researcher in the same field generously shared their time and knowledge. As a result, Irene has travelled twice to the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic.

Jakob Stenseke, Practical Philosophy

Jakob travelled to Göttingen to meet a renowned researcher and also had the opportunity to meet several other doctoral students with similar research interests as himself. He utilised Erasmus+ staff training funding for his trip.

Juhan Björn, Arabic Studies

With an assistant supervisor in Cologne, it was natural for Juhan to apply for Erasmus+ student mobility there for a semester. This allowed him to receive supervision and access virtually customised courses.

Katja Heldt, Musicology

Katja has used both Erasmus+ staff training and Erasmus+ traineeship funding to travel in the footsteps of a particular group of female musicians. In Paris, she was able to meet and interview the female composer of electronic music who is practically the main subject of her thesis!

Katarzyna Bobrowicz, Cognitive Science

Katarzyna took a law course in Turku, Finland (called Åbo in Sweden) and job shadowed zookeepers in Poland with the help of Erasmus+ staff training. It is thanks to the animal law course in Finland that she now teaches animal cognition to law students.

Paola Derudas, Digital Archaeology

Her keen interest in digitalisation not only brought Paola to Lund, but also led her to visit several foreign universities to develop new technologies and measurement methods. Erasmus+ staff training is the form of funding she has used.

Ryszard Bobrowicz, Practical Theology

Ryszard has travelled abroad with Erasmus+ staff training on several occasions. When the need to travel to Naples to teach arose, the HT Faculties were able to set up an Erasmus+ teaching staff mobility agreement with the university there specifically for Ryszard.

Sergio Rojo, English Studies

The plan was for Sergio to travel to the University of Plymouth for an Erasmus+ student exchange, for which a student mobility agreement had been signed. When it did not work out, Sergio discovered that staying at home and doing the exchange virtually worked very well.

Billy Jones, Ethnology

Billy had the chance to attend a UN climate change conference in Bonn, Germany, and he used Erasmus+ staff training funding to travel there.

Ylva Hamnell-Pamment, Educational Sciences

Ylva used Erasmus+ staff training funding to job shadow a doctoral student in Berlin who is basically the only one in the world with a specialisation that is really close to her own: the role of language in the teaching and learning of chemistry.

Alexander Maurits, Church History

Alexander received funding from the STINT Teaching Sabbatical programme and took his family with him to the University of California, Berkeley.

Blaženka Scheuer, Old Testament Exegesis

On two occasions, Blaženka took her whole family with her when she travelled far away on teaching and research stays, once to the USA (STINT's Teaching Sabbatical) and once to New Zealand. It was exciting and stimulating on several levels.

Elisabet Göransson, Latin Studies

Elisabet has established close contact with colleagues in Venice and has used Erasmus+ staff training on several occasions to return there. Among the funding she applied for, she finds these the easiest to apply for and receive.

Jordan Zlatev, Cognitive Semiotics

For many years, Jordan has been teaching at a university in Poland, together with his colleague Göran Sonesson or on his own. On one occasion he utilised Erasmus+ teaching staff mobility funding.

Lina Sturfelt and Maria Småberg, History

Lina and Maria were developing a new Master's course. They identified a university that was well advanced in this field, the University of Manchester, and travelled there to job shadow colleagues. Erasmus+ staff training (job shadowing) is particularly suitable for course development.

Lovisa Brännstedt, Classical Archaeology and Ancient History

The Swedish Institutes in Rome and Athens are an invaluable resource for Swedish researchers, says Lovisa, who has spent several periods in Rome in particular.

Martin Hansson, Historical Archaeology

Martin works closely with colleagues in Galway, Ireland. Erasmus+ teaching staff mobility has funded two stays there for him.

Nicolò dell'Unto, Digital Archaeology

Not only has Nicolò travelled abroad several times with Erasmus+ teaching staff mobility, he has also hosted colleagues from the universities he has visited, making it a true teacher exchange.

Tomas Sniegon, European Studies

Tomas has a well-established cooperation with his old home university, Charles University in Prague. He tries to maximise his exchanges and always has several different (research) activities going on, in addition to teaching.
