Overview
Universities of the Coimbra Group offer short-term visits to young researchers from Eastern neighbouring countries. The main aim of this scholarship programme is to enable scholars to undertake research in which they are engaged in their home institution and to help them to establish academic and research contacts.
The eligible countries for the 2010 edition are the following:
Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYROM, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Serbia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
Eligibility
The scheme is intended for younger academics (normally those under the age of 35). Applicants should be current or recent staff members of a university or an equivalent higher education institution. Furthermore, in most cases they should be of postdoctoral or equivalent status, although some institutions may offer opportunities to doctoral students. Candidates not currently working at a university should continue to be involved in academic activity and be intending to return to university employment in the future.
Application Procedure
Applicants will be able to fill in the on-line registration form from 1 February until 15 March 2010 on the Coimbra Group web site: www.coimbra-group.eu/sp/
Applicants are not expected to provide any documents at this stage, although they may be requested to do so by the university they have applied for at a later stage. Candidates should always indicate the name and contact details of a tutor at the host university.
Please note that some universities request applicants to provide, besides name and contact details of a tutor, also proof of acceptance by this tutor (see brochure). Please read the brochure carefully before applying, as each university has specific eligibility criteria. Information should be submitted in English. After submitting the on-line application a confirmation message will automatically be sent to the e-mail address provided by the candidate. This will be your acknowledgement of receipt. The Coimbra Group Office will not individually acknowledge each application received.
Selection Procedure
The administrative check of applications will be undertaken by the Coimbra Group Office in order to select candidates who meet the eligibility criteria. The selection of candidates will be undertaken by the host universities. When selection has been agreed upon, the host university may send a letter of invitation directly to the successful candidate. The Coimbra Group Office will contact all candidates and inform them about the result of their application. Successful candidates currently employed by a University are responsible for ensuring that their home institution will grant them leave of absence to undertake the proposed visit.
