For academic staff, it will mainly focus on teaching and research activities during their stay in the host institution as well as the production of new teaching material. For administrative staff this will involve mostly university management, international offices management and admissions. The mobility of staff as a whole should contribute to the strengthening of scientific and administrative cooperation and capacity building opportunities between the University of Ghana and the partner institutions.
