EXPLORE#6 call for projects to support international mobility HU
As part of the I-SITE Excellence Program (P.E.I), the University of Montpellier is pleased to announce EXPLORE#6 launching, the sixth edition of the support for international mobility call for projects.

This call for projects provides three distinct schemes:

  1. Support for incoming or outgoing individual mobility stays for the exploration of new international collaboration projects by : professors, researchers, research professors, PhD students, engineers, technicians or administrative staff;
  2. Support for outgoing collective mobility stays to develop new international collaborations (pedagogical, academic and/or scientific) by : professors, researchers, research professors, PhD students,  engineers, technicians or administrative staff from various P.E.I institutions; such projects may involve students;
  3. Support for incoming individual mobility stays of Master students for research internships to enable the development of new strategic collaborations.

Timeline

  • Application deadline: February 18, 2024 (11:59pm Paris time)
  • Evaluation by the EXPLORE#6 Evaluation Committee: February 19 to March 15, 2024
  • Decision by the UM Strategic Investment Committee: March 26, 2024
  • Announcement of results by e-mail: from April 1, 2024
  • Mobility stays may start: from May 1, 2024 to December 31, 2025

The application must be submitted before February 18, 2024 (11:59pm, Paris time) via the following form by the researcher of the host structure who will supervise the student.

The aim of this call for projects is to encourage international collaborations, enhance the attractiveness and visibility of the Montpellier site, and contribute to new initiatives. Within the framework given above, any project exploring new international collaborations, or extending existing collaborations towards new actions, and presenting a clear added value for the P.E.I. may be considered for funding. Scheme 1 may be really interesting for your colleagues to fund their mobility to come to UM and exchange or build new potential projects in the framework of CHARM. Scheme 3 is also a very good way to build new research projects, it could impulse collaboration between labs and initiate new doctorates or research projects.
