EUBrazil STARTUP

The project gives students, researchers and academic staff from Brazil the opportunity to study, do research or teach in Europe for periods of different duration. Europeans have the same opportunities in Brazil. 170 individuals (119 from Brazil and 51 from Europe) will be given the chance to broaden their perspective by studying, teaching or doing research in another part of the world.

The project is managed by a Consortium of partner Universities including 11 Brazilian Universities and 8 European Universities and is coordinated by Politecnico di Torino (Italy).

Individuals may apply for mobility of different duration depending on the length of the course or programme offered by the host university. In some specific cases you may also apply for full degree programs.

Detailed information on available courses and their duration is given in the application form for each specific course and university.

Please check the available scholarships before choosing a specific programme.

IMPORTANT: All mobilities must begin before 1st September 2010.
