Application Process:

BGU is excited to welcome you as a visiting staff member in the framework of the Erasmus+ agreement signed between both our institutions.
If you plan to come to BGU under an Erasmus+ agreement:
The first step in the process is to find a host at BGU.
You are kindly asked to find a host in BGU who's training / research / teaching activities are of relevance to your field of research and/or work at your home institution.
This is valid both for ERASMUS+ training and teaching staff mobility.
You can find information about academic staff on this site and on technical/administrative staff on this site.
Once you find a host you will need to contact him/her, agree on visit dates and come up with a visit plan for your visit at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU).
In order to start the process please register to our on-line form and follow instructions.
Applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks before planned mobility.
Erasmus+ Staff mobility is of 5 working days (+ 2 traveling days).
Training mobility: Professional training in your field of expertise.
Teaching mobility: A minimum teaching period of 8 hours per week is required. The mobility should be planned to benefit all parties involved from both institutions (BGU and your institution).

1. Apply for the mobility grant via your home Institution/University.
2. If you have not been nominated by your International Office at your home university, please note that Israel, as an associate country to the EU, is not funded by the Erasmus+ program. Therefore, your support must come from your home university.
3. Every guest, visitor, professor or student, as well as accompanying family members and dependents, associated with BGU must be covered by a comprehensive health insurance policy provided by an Israeli provider, for the period of their stay in Israel.
Starting on 01.01.2025: Tourists arriving in Israel with a passport from countries that are exempt from visas will be required to obtain an ETA-IL form approval.
