Since 2013 the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo has participated in the Erasmus + Programme (staff mobility project for teaching - Key Action 1).The project gives the teaching staff the opportunity to undertake a short period of teaching (on average 6 days) at a higher education institution partner abroad. Participating in mobility activities allows the teaching staff: to improve competences, linked to their professional profiles; increase opportunities for professional and career development; increase understanding and responsiveness to social, linguistic and cultural diversity, experiment and develop new teaching methods, build and expand the network of international contacts. The activities supported under the project allow the University as a whole to increase its capacity to operate at EU/ international level; improve its management skills and internationalization strategies; reinforce cooperation with partners from other countries; increase quality in the preparation, implementation, monitoring and follow up of EU/international projects; strengthen cooperation with partners in other countries and to establish new relationships.
