Applications for the Coimbra Group Scholarship Programme 2023 for Young Professors & Researchers from LATAM Universities are now open. The Scholarship Programme for Young Professors and Researchers from Latin American Universities was launched for the first time in January 2004.
This initiative, which offers grants to finance short-term research visits, aims at favouring mobility and academic exchange between the two regions, Europe and Latin America.
The Coimbra Group is an association of 41 European universities which, among several other activities, promotes exchanges between European and Latin American researchers and academics. This call for applications for research visit grants is one of the ways in which exchanges are supported.
