The online application is available until 31 March 2016 on the Coimbra Group web site:
(http://www.coimbra-group.eu/activities/scholarships). Applications should be submitted in English.
The Coimbra Group Office will individually acknowledge each application received. Within two weeks
after submitting the online application, a confirmation message will be sent to the e-mail address provided
by the candidate with a copy of the application. This will be your only acknowledgement of receipt. If you
dont receive a confirmation message this means that your application was not submitted correctly or there
was a technical problem. In that case please contact [email protected].
Dates and structure of the visit, which will be carried out in the academic year 2016-2017 at the host
university, will be agreed upon with the host tutor / partner university. All practical details concerning the
mobility period, scholarship payment, certificates and visa procedures should be discussed with the host
university and not with the Coimbra Group Office.
