Researchers, faculty members, master’s students and recent graduates in Portugal can apply for the CMU Portugal 2027 Mobility Initiatives, which offer up to 24 scholarships for research visits to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, USA.

Supported by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) through the CMU Portugal Program, the mobility calls provide opportunities for eligible participants to spend between two weeks and four months at Carnegie Mellon University during 2027. The calls cover two initiatives: the Visiting Faculty & Researchers Program, offering up to 10 grants, and the Visiting Students Program, offering up to 14 opportunities. Both initiatives focus on research, innovation and education in information and communication technologies (ICT).

The CMU Portugal Program is designed to strengthen collaboration between Portuguese higher education and research institutions and Carnegie Mellon University.
