Selection process
Estonian Business School aims to offer all the interested parties an opportunity to take part of Erasmus+ programme. However, at times due to budget restrictions, some candidates will receive an advantage. In case of restricted funds, spots are given to:
- lecturers, whose subject is fully integrated to partner university's programmes (for example lecturer takes part in teaching in partner university's mandatory course);
- lecturers, whose goal is to develop a new course or teaching material;
- lecturers, who beside teaching in partner university do other assignments (for example networking, starting new projects);
- lecturers, who go abroad to teach for the first time;
- lecturers, who beside teaching are also acquiring skills in relation to curriculum development.
