Aurora
The Aurora activities emcompass a wide range of support options for all university members - students as well as academic and administrative staff. The various programmes and formats will be launched successively and updated on a regular basis.
The website of the International Relations Office mainly contains information regarding mobility funding in the framework of the Aurora Allicance. General information and further details can be found on the website of the Aurora Office of the University of Innsbruck:
Aurora Student Mobility - borderless learning
The Aurora mobility programmes enable you to become mobile within the Aurora European Universities Alliance and thus gain experience abroad in various forms! You will benefit from the well-established cooperation network between the Aurora universities from Reykjavik to Naples, which minimises administrative barriers and maximises transnational learning experiences in the spirit of a Europe-wide campus. Get to know other perspectives, students and universities that will enrich your studies and further life.
The flexible design - duration from a few days - ensures that all students have the opportunity to gain international learning experiences, even if a traditional semester abroad is hardly or not at all compatible with your personal study routine. Financial means from the European Commission and the University of Innsbruck provide a variety of funding opportunities for all of these activities.
Funding for students
Students have the opportunity to apply for funded study abroad stays of varying lengths at other Aurora universities.
Aurora for incoming students
The University of Innsbruck also offers appealing international learning experiences and mobility formats for incoming students from other Aurora universities. Mobility funding is generally provided by the sending institution – so please get in touch with the relevant Aurora Office or the Aurora Institutional Coordinator of your home university.
Aurora Staff Mobility - borderless teaching, research and working
International collaboration and exchange are based on trusting connections. As a network of closely cooperating universities, Aurora offers precisely this framework and stands for new possibilities while administrative steps remain simple at the same time.
New formats and offers for both academic and administrative staff are continuously being developed along specific areas of challenge and funding opportunities for (scientific) exchange and teaching development are offered. Financial means from the European Commission and the University of Innsbruck provide a variety of funding opportunities for all of these activities.
