COIMBRA GROUP LAUNCHES SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMME FOR SHORT RESEARCH STAYS IN EUROPE How to apply Applications should be submitted online through the official Coimbra Group website: Please note that each regional scholarship programme has specific requirements and that a letter of acceptance must be provided by an academic supervisor at the host university. The deadline for submissions is 7 April 2023 at midnight (Brussels time, UTC+01:00). About the Coimbra Group Scholarship Programme Since 1999 the Coimbra Group has offered young researchers from outside the EU the opportunity to carry out part of their research for a period of one to three months at a Coimbra Group University. While this scholarship programme was initially established to assist scholars from disadvantaged areas in Central and Eastern Europe (modelled on the Oxford Hospitality Scheme for Polish Scholars), it was expanded several years ago and consolidated into a set of three programmes for young researchers from the European Neighbourhood, Sub-Saharan Africa, and young professors and researchers from Latin America. In 2022, Coimbra Group received a record number of applications, and its member universities offered a record number of scholarships to young researchers. This success will hopefully be repeated this year. About the Coimbra Group Founded in 1985 and formally constituted by Charter in 1987, the Coimbra Group is an association of long-established European comprehensive, multidisciplinary universities of high international standard committed to creating special academic and cultural ties in order to promote, for the benefits of its members, internationalisation, academic collaboration, excellence in learning and research, and service to society.
