If you were selected

The results of the application were announced in March 2013. All notifications will be sent by email to the email address registered in your application. You will have 10 days to respond on whether you accept the offer or not.

If you accept the nomination your host university will get in touch with you and inform you about the scholarship transfers, assist with visa issues, admission and housing, etc.

For mobility students that will NOT obtain full degree

If you were selected for an exchange period abroad and you accepted this challenge we advise you to start preparing a learning agreement now. The learning agreement is a contract that intends to facilitate the recognition of your studies abroad and has to be set up between you, the hosting university and the home university. The learning agreement states what courses you are going to study, and how many credits you are going to earn. By signing this agreement your home university agrees to transfer the credits studied abroad to your degree at home. The learning agreement shall be signed and stamped by all parties before the mobility period starts. If there are any changes to the learning agreement afterwards, these must be communicated to your home university so they can accept the changes made. The changes shall be stated in the document “Changes to learning agreement” and must be signed by all parties. A learning agreement shall be issued to students on undergraduate, master, and PhD level. You can find an example of a learning agreement and changes to learning agreement at “Documents” tab.

For mobility students that will obtain full degree

If you were selected for an exchange period abroad and you accepted this challenge we advise you to start preparing yourself to it. The learning agreement is in accordance to the full programme established for the degree that you are going to follow. The information will be sent by the host institution to you.

For researchers and staff

All researchers and staff need to set up a work plan. A work plan is an agreement between the scholarship holder and the hosting university, and aims at clarifying what kind of tasks you will perform during the mobility period (for example what kind of research you are going to do, how many lectures shall be taught, administrative work etc.) The work plan shall be signed and stamped by all parties before the mobility period starts. You can find an example of a work plan at “Documents" tab.

Start and end date of mobility period

The mobility can start as soon as all practical issues have been arranged, and the dates will be decided together with your host university. The first mobilities are foreseen to start in June or July 2013.

All students have to start their mobility at the start of the academic term (fall 2013). All scholarship holders need to start their mobility at the latest by 31st December 2013. Only staff mobility can start later than this date. All mobilities must be completed before July 2016.
