FORTHEM Alliance Call
Collective short-term student mobility applications for 2021
The “FORTHEM Alliance”, funded in the Erasmus+ framework, brings together seven partner universities:
- the University of Burgundy in France (candidatures-forthem@u-bourgogne.fr)
- Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz in Germany (forthem@uni-mainz.de)
- the University of Jyväskylä in Finland (forthem@jyu.fi)
- the University of Latvia (forthem@lu.lv)
- the University of Opole in Poland (forthem@uni.opole.pl)
- the University of Palermo in Italy (forthem.office@unipa.it)
- the University of Valencia in Spain (forthem@uv.es)
FORTHEM aims to open up new possibilities for students to travel and study in these different universities.
Between 27th of October and 29th of November, students from FORTHEM universities are invited to apply for collective short-term mobility in 2021.
Deadline for the collective short-term mobilities is extended until the 13th of December.
14 collective short-term mobility programmes are being organised from March to July 2021, giving you a chance to take part in a week-long activity (5 days maximum on site) as 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. A second call for the activities that will take place between September 2021 and February 2022 will be launched in spring 2021.
Collective mobility programmes cater to students of different levels and areas of study, some are open to all, others are more targeted. Unless specified, programmes will use English as the main language of communication. Details of all of these programmes can be found in the table below and more information can be found by clicking on the specific programme.
COVID-19
Because of the Covid19 crisis some of the projects had to be postponed to spring 2021. There will be less places available for those projects as the students that have already been selected last year can keep their places.
Since the Covid-19 situation remains unpredictable it is possible that due to travel and other national restrictions physical mobility will not be possible for all of the projects as planned. Some may be postponed and others will be organised in a virtual environment. At latest 30 days before the start date of the mobility students will receive detailed information regarding the selected project.
How to apply for collective mobility in 2021:
Fill in the form accessible here by 12PM (midday) CET, on the 13th of December 2020. (Previous date 29th of November - deadline was extended for 2 weeks).
You can apply for a maximum of 2 collective and 1 individual programme, but will have to choose to participate in 2 activities maximum if you are selected for more than 2. You may submit your application each time we publish 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.
