We are pleased to announce the opening of 2nd call for applications (student mobility) regarding the Erasmus+ “Mobile22” Project.

The Erasmus+ programme aims to boost skills and employability, as well as modernising Education, Training, and Youth work.

Coordinated by the University of Porto, Portugal, the MOBILE22 Project, approved in August 2022 and financially supported by the European Commission through the Erasmus+ Programme, aims at fostering the mutual enrichment and a better understanding between Portugal and specifically 71* partner countries, through student, academic and administrative staff mobility.

This call for application will provide 1 outgoing student scholarship quota (for UM student to undertake mobility in University of Porto). The length of mobility is 4 months and the mobility will start in September 2024.

About the MOBILE22 Project

The MOBILE22 Project runs from 2022 to July 2025 to provide funded mobility opportunity for staff and students.

This 2nd application call provides UM with one student scholarship quota for a 4-month exchange (credit seeking) in University of Porto. The scholarship can be used to join a semester exchange that begins in September 2024*.

*The quota offered to UM students in this call is only applicable for credit-seeking exchange starting in September 2024.

Costs & Financial Support

The successful applicant will be entitled to 1) Travel subsidy, and 2) Subsistence (Monthly Stipend).

The applicant will need to bear all the costs incurred by the mobility, including but not limited to:

• round-trip air-ticket and/or other travel expenses
• accommodation
• visa (if necessary)
• personal insurance
• other personal travel and living expenses

Please note that the financial support will only be granted after their arrival at the host institution. Applicants must be prepared to pay for the travel, accommodation, and other relevant expenses in advance.

Please also note that applicant who receives the Erasmus+ financial support is NOT eligible for other subsidies or sponsorship, such as the Outgoing Exchange Scholarship provided by GAO.

Travel

Important Information: the “travel distance” represents the linear distance between the city where the university of origin and the city where the host university are located. This is calculated automatically by a website indicated by the European Commission and cannot be subject to any change. The financial support allocated to the “travel distance” is the maximum allowed by the Erasmus+ Programme and is intended to contribute to the round trip back between the home and host institutions. In the event that the assigned value is insufficient to pay for the desired trip, the scholarship holder must find another sources of funding.

Subsistence (Monthly Stipend)

Mobility Type: STUDENTS mobility (Studies – SMS)

Mobility period: 4 months, starting in September 2024
