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 pleas​e register to our on-line form and follow instructions.


Applications must be submitted at least 4 weeks before planned mobility.
