groupsCollective STMCollective Short-term mobility gives you a chance to take part in an organised week-long activity (5 days maximum on site). You will be a part of a group of approximately 35 students, 5 coming from each of the partner universities, who will meet physically on site in one university..Yes! Collective mobility programmes cater to students of different levels and areas of study, some of them are open to all, others are more specialised and targeted to specific groups of students. Unless otherwise specified, English will be the main language spoken in all the programmes.
General information for all proposed programmes are accessible in the table below. More detailed information, including daily schedules can be found by clicking on the specific programme.
All physical mobilities have been affected due to the health pandemic. FORTHEM is working closely with the organisers to assure you the safest participation in the selected events. Most of the proposed programmes offer a virtual alternative in case the restrictions prevent you from travelling. However, due to the nature of programmes some of them do not offer a virtual possibility (sports events, archaeological excavations…).
If it is not possible to organise the programme on the predicted dates safely, the organisers will inform the selected participants of different alternatives (postponement, cancellation). Because of the unpredictable situation we advise you not to make any reservations until you receive final confirmation form the organisers (30 days before the start date of the activity)
.Fill in the form here below by the deadline indicated in the description above.
You can apply for a maximum of 2 collective and 1 individual mobility programme. But you will have to choose to participate in only one collective mobility if you are selected for more than one.
Yes, you may submit your application each time we publish a new call for applications (twice a year, in autumn and in spring). Please note that students that have not participated in the FORTHEM mobility previously will be given priority.
All students currently enrolled in FORTHEM universities are eligible to apply for individual or collective mobility.

You can apply for a maximum of 2 collective and 1 individual mobility programme. If you are accepted for two collective programmes you will need to choose only one programme and refuse the other (including any for which you may still be on a waiting list).
Eligible applications will be checked by the FORTHEM offices and transmitted to the project organisers for a final selection.
Using the selection criteria announced, project coordinators will produce a list of 5 students per university admitted to the programme, plus a waiting list for other applicants who will receive a notification if a place becomes available.Applicants will be notified of the results of the selection process by email by the date indicated in the description above.
You will have one week to confirm your participation by clicking on the link provided in the email.

personIndividual mobility
If you have a study project for which you need to travel alone to one of our partner universities for a maximum period of 10 days on site, during your study programme, this can be funded by the FORTHEM alliance (travel costs, accommodation and living expenses).
The students applying for this type of mobility will have to organise their stay themselves. They will need to have a project, find a mentoring professor at the hosting university and present the need to travel to the hosting university in a motivational letter. Hosting FORTHEM Offices are available to assist you with finding the mentoring professor. You can contact them via e-mail accessible in the “Contact us” section indicating your name, study programme and cycle, short description of your study project and desired period of mobility.
Examples of projects: to carry out fieldwork, experimentation or research for a thesis (BA, MA, PhD); to create new ties with a student association in a partner university; to work with a group of students in another university on a current or future project, etc.

Cross-border cooperation, migration and space in Central Europe
Organising University: University of Opole
Location of the event: Opole (with excursions to Cieszyn or Łambinowice/Lamsdorf)
Organisers: Institute of Political Science and Public Administration, Interdisciplinary Lab for Social Space and Art, UO Diversity and Migration ForThem Lab
Project description: Summer school is focused on cross-border cooperation (Module 1) and migration and space (Module 2) in the Central European context. The curriculum of this course is designed to provide a unique academic experience in a challenging period of the current European crisis, caused in part by the COVID-19 pandemic. It is based in a multicultural region with strong emigration traditions, but is located on the crossroads, as the area has recently become an immigration destination too.
The key topics of the M1 cover how current Europe approaches the topic of cross-border cooperation (CBC) with a particular focus on differences between “old” and “new” Europe. It also reflects the current refugee crisis and offers various viewpoints on the links between CBC and euroscepticism. The M2 invites students to experiment with arts-based methods and to engage with the multicultural past and present of Opole, including its resettlements, migrations and complicated history, and also of the European Prisoners of War camp Lamsdorf. The participants will meet local policymakers and work with them on the recent migration phenomena. Participants of both Modules are invited to the scientific conference organised by Border and Regional Studies Journal (published by the organisers).
It also makes cultural immersion possible through extracurricular activities including field trips. Students are also integrated into the local context by means of joint events, walking trips, social and sports activities.
