To help develop new cooperations and strengthen existing ties, you as a professor can apply for grants to cover your travel expenses to partner universities.
For such travel, it is customary for the partner to cover the expenses of your stay. We therefore recommend you contact your cooperation partner to find out more.
Please submit your application to the person within the Department of International Affairs responsible for your partner country. You can find details regarding contact persons in the link box.
Please note that we are unable to fund your participation in conferences and congresses.
