Mobility from Latin American countries to European consortium universities

All EMA2 programmes provide funding for the mobility of undergraduate and master students, PhD and post-doctoral researchers as well as staff from selected Latin American countries to the European consortium universities. The University of Groningen is involved in two more EMA2 projects granted in 2010 that are still running in the Latin American region, both of them with Argentina: Europlata and Eurotango2, for PhD, post-doctoral and staff mobility in the social sciences and life sciences/sciences & technology respectively. Europlata is coordinated by Groningen; Eurotango2 by the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia.
