Apply for support for additional costs for sabbatical

    13 January 2023

    To promote and increase internationalization at the Faculty of Science and Technology a sabbatical program for professors with a permanent employment has been established.

    A professor who wants to stay abroad at another university or research institute can apply for support from the faculty for additional costs.

    The length of the sabbatical should normally be between one and six months. The application should be submitted to the faculty in due time before the visit abroad. Approved funds can be requested from the faculty after the visit. Note that a so-called URA agreement may need to be drawn up when stationed abroad.

    • A letter of support from the head of department.
    • A letter of invitation from the host university.
    • A curriculum vitae.
    • A budget covering all additional costs in the application.
