Scholarship Programme for Researchers
Coimbra Group
Universities of the Coimbra Group offer short-term visits to young researchers from higher education institutions from countries in the European Neighbourhood.

The eligible countries for the 2014 edition are the following:
Albania, Algeria, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Egypt, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Georgia, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kosovo, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, Moldova, Montenegro, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Serbia, Syria, Tajikistan, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
The scheme is intended for younger academics (normally those under the age of 35). Applicants should be nationals of and current residents in one of the above-listed countries, and be current academic staff members of a university located in one of the above-mentioned eligible countries or an equivalent higher education institution. Furthermore, in most cases they should be of postdoctoral or equivalent status, although some institutions may offer opportunities to doctoral students.
