Teachers and Technical Staff

If you’re a teacher or a technical staff member from another higher education institution, prepare your mobility exchange by contacting our International Cooperation and Mobility Department (GMCI).

Send an email to Ana Boa-Ventura (ana.boaventura@ipleiria.pt).

GMCI will take the necessary steps in the department of your choice and the department will consider how the visit fits with their plan of work and academic timetables. We can receive teaching staff throughout the all year, excluding holiday seasons, such as Christmas, Easter and Summer.

Check with your home university which documents they will need to certify your exchange.

Politécnico de Leiria has a wide range of accommodation services available for both students and staff.

Pousadinha José Saramago is one of our residence halls for teachers, researchers and technical staff. It’s located in front of our headquarters building.

Upon your request, GMCI will book a room during your stay with us.

You can also stay in a private residence hall or in a hotel.

Platform

Imotion

It is an online platform that will centralise information about staff training events organised in Europe in order to provide easy access to the information. The platform will help higher education institutions with the promotion of staff training events, it will help those organising job shadowing to find appropriate people and also enable staff to find the appropriate training or job shadowing they are looking for.

The platform will also allow organisers to get feedback from the participants at their events.
