Outgoing Researcher Mobility

School of Arts and Humanities' researchers interested in research stays at foreign institutions may apply for various supports. To identify the most relevant and pertinent information about the destination country, the foreign institution, and about grants and funding, you can find here a selected set of references.

EURAXESS Scientific Research and Employment Grants

Supported by the European Union, the EURAXESS network is a European initiative involving EU member and partner countries. It provides information and support services for researchers, including practical advice, local information, funding opportunities and scientific employment.

The EURAXESS portal publishes a wide range of fellowship and scientific job offers in Europe and worldwide; it provides access to a network of information and support for researchers, depending on the foreign country where they intend to carry out a research stay.

Fulbright Grants

Fulbright Grants are for Portuguese students, researchers and professors and offer the opportunity to study, teach or do research in U.S. universities (Outgoing); they also offer a similar opportunity to U.S. students and professors interested in teaching and research assignments in Portugal (Incoming).

Postdoctoral research stay

If you are a post-doctoral student at a foreign higher education institution you can apply for a research stay at the School of Arts and Humanities in order to access the Library, to temporarily integrate a research centre and to be oriented by one of the Faculty's Professors or Researchers. The mobility takes place under the Visiting Researcher status.

Post-doctoral visiting researchers are not covered by a partnership under a mobility program, protocol, or agreement. It is recommended that the research period is at least three consecutive months, or more, although shorter periods of stay are accepted. The researcher must be assigned to a research unit of the School of Arts and Humanities and be supervised or co-supervised by a professor or researcher of the School of Arts and Humanities.

Visas

Visiting professors and researchers who do not hold the nationality of one of the European Union countries or of a country in the European Economic Area need a visa before entering Portugal. In order to obtain a visa, they must first request a letter of acceptance from the School of arts and Humanities.

The study visa must be requested at a Portuguese Embassy or Consular Post in the country of origin. It is recommended that visa requests are made at least two months before the expected date of arrival in Portugal to ensure their timely issuance.

Accommodation

The Universidade de Lisboa has specific residences for professors, researchers and administrative staff. Visiting professors and researchers can contact the International Cooperation Office (internacional@letras.ulisboa.pt) to find out more information about the residences and availability of vacancies for the dates planned for their stay.
