Opportunities

Within the scope of the OpSciTech programme, there are also opportunities for non-European Union visiting scholars (academics and/or professionals of outstanding experience) who may wish to carry out teaching and research assignments and scholarly work in any of the OpSciTech consortium institutions.
The European Commission will provide some grants of 14,400€*(Euro), corresponding to stays of three months duration, for scholars coming from any non-EU country.
Within four weeks of the end of the submission deadline, all applications will be reviewed and assessed by the OpSciTech Board, and the respective applicants will be informed of the preliminary assessment outcome. The latter will then be submitted for final confirmation and approval of the European Commission.
* This includes three monthly grants and a fixed amount for travel expenses.

  nationals coming from all countries other than the 27 EU Member States.
