- Staff mobilityInterested in going abroad for work? Discover your options! UT attaches great value to the mobility of our staff. UT employees can visit universities abroad for professional development or for strategic and academic cooperation. There are a number of funding options available for both academic and support staff to undertake mobility programmes at institutions outside of the Netherlands. Professional development Would you like to find out about developments taking place in your field at universities abroad and would you like to learn from them? The UT believes it is important to offer international opportunities for staff to develop themselves professionally and to strengthen their competencies. Besides the wide variety of local training available at UT’s Centre for Training & Development, staff can undertake professional development at other institutions, for example by participating in a staff exchange programme at a partner university abroad. Strategic & academic cooperation UT has formal global academic partnerships
