Mobility grants for academic scholars
The MSc European Forestry consortium invites talented academics with a post-graduate degree to carry out research and teaching assignments in MSc European Forestry Consortium or Partnership universities*). Scholars are considered established teachers and researchers. Scholar mobility grants cannot be given to master's students.
Scholar grants can be awarded to
- non-European academics to visit MSc European Forestry Consortium universities, and
- faculty members of the MSc European Forestry Consortium universities to visit either Northwest A&F University in China or Federal University of Paraná in Brazil.
