T4EU Chair Programme – Mobility Opportunities for Teaching Staff

Transform4Europe Chair Programme – 2nd Call for Applications

The Transform4Europe (T4EU) Chair Programme is now open for its second call for applications. This programme offers academic staff from the Transform4Europe Alliance partner universities the opportunity to participate in short-term teaching and research mobility aimed at strengthening cross-university collaboration and innovation in higher education.

The initiative supports visits of a minimum of five working days at one of the T4EU partner universities. During their stay, selected T4EU Chairs will:

  • Deliver teaching activities aligned with the alliance’s shared focus areas (Knowledge Entrepreneurship, Societal Transformation, and Sustainable Development),
  • Collaborate with local faculty and students,
  • Participate in joint academic events and workshops,
  • Contribute to the creation of a truly European and interdisciplinary academic environment.

The programme is open to academic staff from all disciplines, and encourages proposals that are innovative and collaborative in nature.

Each university within the T4EU alliance manages its own selection process, so application deadlines and procedures vary by institution. Applicants are strongly advised to consult the official call for detailed information regarding:

  • Eligibility criteria,
  • Hosting institutions and available disciplines,
  • Funding arrangements,
  • Application forms and deadlines.
