Greetings from Alianza 4 Universidades Secretariat, Spain!
The Alianza 4 Universidades (4 Universities Alliance, A4U) is a strategic partnership between four leading Spanish public universities: the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM), Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M), and Pompeu Fabra University (UPF).
One of A4U’s internationalization objectives is to promote mobility with leading universities in non-European countries. Through the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Programme, A4U provides opportunities for staff from its partner universities to undertake mobility stays in Spain.
The main objectives of the mobility programme include offering training and research opportunities to staff, improving professional, social, and intercultural skills, promoting cross-cultural exchange and dialogue, and strengthening long-term academic cooperation between A4U universities and their partner institutions.
We are delighted to inform you that the application for Erasmus+ Grants 2026 for Incoming Staff Mobility from Asian Partner Universities to Spain is now open.

The programme is open to all academic and administrative disciplines and staff profiles. Applicants must have a contractual relationship with their home institution at the time of application and throughout the mobility period. Applicants must also have at least a B2 level of proficiency in the language in which the mobility activities will be conducted.
How long can mobility be?
The mobility period consists of 5 days of activities and 2 additional days for travel, covering 7 funded days in total.
