6th Erasmus Staff Mobility Week – For Librarians

After a long period, imposed by the disruption caused by the pandemic everywhere, the Library and Information Center of the University of Patras happily announces its 6th Erasmus Staff Mobility Week for Librarians. We welcome fellow librarians and library staff working in Academic and Research Libraries or similar institutions to share their knowledge and expertise and help create a strong network of libraries in Europe. The program will include presentations and workshops of the Library and Information Center’s services and on-going projects, as well as cultural events, combining thus education and recreation. Moreover, we expect all attendees to share their own short presentations of their institutions or focus on a specific project. We expect our applicants to have knowledge on areas, such as cataloguing, circulation, digitization, open access and information literacy, without of course excluding other professionals working in a Library.

Selection of applicants

The maximum number of participants is 20. If we receive more applications, there will be a selection process based on our effort to find the colleagues that will maximize the outcomes of the Week, both for our staff and for the rest of the participants. We also want our group to consist of as many different institutions, nationalities, and ages as possible.

Application

The electronic application form can be found here. Please, send your application as soon as possible, but no later than April 15th, 2024. Applicants will be informed about the result until the end of April and they will receive all the information needed about matters of traveling, accommodation, etc.

Program

The program is subject to small changes.
