2nd Erasmus Staff Mobility Week for Librarians

To improve is to change

In times of crisis, such as the one we face today, collaboration and exchange of experiences is crucial. Every single academic library has a solution for another library’s problem. Getting together and sharing our knowledge and ideas is the basic purpose of this Erasmus Staff Mobility Week. We invite every librarian that is willing to share and learn, to distribute and adopt, to help and get helped, to change and help others change as well.

Our program appeals mostly to librarians with a background in digitization, Open Access and electronic recourses management, without excluding others that want to put their hands on such issues. Workshops, presentations and social events aim to provide our participants with both knowledge and leisure that they expect to find in a country like Greece!

Cost

We do not charge any participation fee, but visitors will cover their own expenses for accommodation. Some meals and coffees are included in the program. Participants are encouraged to use the Erasmus Mobility Grant.
