The calls for CMU Portugal Mobility initiatives Visiting Faculty & Researchers and Visiting Students are open until June 2nd, 2023. Both calls, launched under the scope of the CMU Portugal Program with the support of Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT), aim for research periods at Carnegie Mellon University in 2023.

Visiting Faculty & Researchers
The CMU Portugal Visiting Faculty & Researchers initiative will allow up to 10 grantees to spend from 2 weeks to 2 months working in research, education, and innovation in ICT with peers at Carnegie Mellon University to experience its culture and best practices. Candidates must be Portuguese citizens or foreign citizens with permanent residence in Portugal who hold a doctoral degree by the time of the application and are affiliated with a Portuguese Higher Education Institution or Research lab. The Visiting Faculty and Researchers Program builds on the success of the Faculty Exchange Program, launched in 2007.

Visiting Students must be Portuguese or foreign citizens with permanent residence in Portugal. The Visiting Students Program builds on the success of the Undergraduate Internship Program initiated in 2014. So far, 83 students from Portuguese Universities have benefited from this initiative
