Mobility opportunities
Expand your experience
You can benefit from a wide range of mobility opportunities offered by the NEOLAiA alliance, available to PHD students within the network, particularly through shorts programmes such as Summer Schools, Focus Academy courses or entrepreneurship programmes.
Support for mobility
The Euraxess offices
Euraxess is an initiative of the European Commission aimed at facilitating the mobility of researchers and PhD students across Europe. You can obtain useful information to prepare for your stay abroad (housing, bank accounts, visas, etc.) and will benefit from personalized support if the partner university where you will stay has an Euraxess center. As a PhD student, you have access to the services offered by the Euraxess centers.
