The British Council Greece and the Greek State Scholarships Foundation (IKY), with the support of the British Embassy, are designing and delivering a short-term mobility scholarship programme in the academic year 2021-2022. Funded exclusively by the UK government, the programme is addressed to Greek postgraduate and doctoral students enrolled in Greek Universities who wish to benefit from structured learning and research placements, of a four-week duration each, at British Higher Education Institutions, in March and April 2022.  The programme aims at encouraging the mobility of Greek students towards British universities, to enhance their scientific and educational competence, to expand their research activity, as well as to foster bilateral cooperation to the mutual benefit of both the grantees and the universities involved.  We would like to draw UK HEIs’ attention to this programme as they are likely to receive interest from Greek PG and PhD students. We invite UK institutions to support the programme by hosting these mobilities.

The academic placements can start no later than Thursday, 31 March 2022.

 

The Call for Expression of Interest for the academic year 2021-2022 opens on Thursday 16/12/2021 and closes on Friday 21/01/2022 at 23:00 EET.

More information about the programme and the call for applications is available here and at the .pdf file attached.
