The "Coimbra Group Scholarship Programme for Young Professors and Researchers
from Latin American Universities" was launched for the first time in January
2004. This initiative, which offers grants to finance short-term research
visits, aims at favouring mobility and academic exchange between the two
regions, Europe and Latin America.
The Coimbra Group is an association of 38 European universities, which promotes
exchanges between European and Latin American researchers and academics. This
call for applications for research visit grants is one of the ways in which
exchanges are supported.
The following Coimbra Group universities are participating in the 2016/2017
edition of the scholarship programme:
* Aarhus University (Denmark)
* University of Coimbra (Portugal)
* University of Göttingen (Germany)
* University of Granada (Spain)
