EUTOPIA_HEALTH is excited to announce the launch of the EUTOPIA_HEALTH Cross-University Mobility Programme for Young Researchers
EUTOPIA_HEALTH is also pleased to announce the pre-launch of the second call of the EUTOPIA_HEALTH Cross-University Mobility Programme for Young Researchers
What does the Programme offer?The EUTOPIA_HEALTH Cross-University Mobility Programme for Young Researchers provides short-term research opportunities for PhD students and early-career researchers (within 8 years post-PhD) affiliated with the three Widening universities of the EUTOPIA_HEALTH Consortium[1]:
- Babeș-Bolyai University (UBB)
- NOVA University Lisbon (NOVA)
- University of Ljubljana (UL).
This programme focuses on tackling transdisciplinary health-related challenges and offers mentorship from leading researchers within the Consortium and research-oriented mobility collaborations, carried out under the supervision of a senior researcher or group leader from the host Consortium member university. It is strongly recommended that eligible host institutions for the mobility program include non-widening Consortium members.
How is the Mobility structured?The programme provides a total of 75 mobility months, distributed as 25 mobility months per Widening university.
