Whether it is a short trip to an international conference or a longer research stay with a project partner abroad – we will support your international mobility to ensure that you can take part in international research activities.

We believe that international mobility will grant you new opportunities for your own research, keep you up to date, and help you network with countless fascinating researchers from all over the world. Researching has never been as global as it is today; become a part of it!
