We are pleased to announce the opening of 1st call for applications (staff mobility) regarding the Erasmus+ International Credit Mobility Project “Merging Voices 2024” .
The Merging Voices (MV) initiative is a collaboration between four Portuguese institutions: NOVA University Lisbon (NOVA), Universidade do Porto (UP), Universidade de Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro (UTAD), and Universidade do Algarve (UAlg).
The 7th edition of the Merging Voices project (2024-2027) builds upon the foundation of previous years, further strengthening cooperation with partner higher education institutions. It also seeks to expand opportunities for students with fewer resources to pursue studies in Portugal.
The MV 2024 aims to:
- Continue fostering (inter)national collaboration among participating institutions, contributing to the fulfillment of each institution’s internationalization goals.
- Further increase the international visibility and recognition of the high-quality education offered by Portuguese institutions, both within and outside Europe.
- Offer students new and enriching mobility experiences beyond traditional destinations, promoting personal and academic growth.
- Continue providing academic and administrative staff with formative mobility experiences that promote awareness and deepen understanding of partner institutions worldwide.
These objectives will be reached through mobility of students and academic staff. Mobility will continue to play a decisive role in the internationalization strategy of the institutions, and the new Merging Voices aims to reinforce it.
