CMU-Portugal Mobility Initiatives: “Visiting Professors and Researchers” Program and “Visiting Students” Program
Calls for the CMU-Portugal Mobility Initiatives – the “Visiting Professors and Researchers” Program and the “Visiting Students” Program – are open between May 30 and June 17, 2025.
Launched under the CMU-Portugal Program, with the support of the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), both initiatives will support visits to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, to be completed by December 31, 2025.
The CMU-Portugal Visiting Professors and Researchers Program will support up to five fellows for a stay of between two weeks and two months, aimed at collaborating in ICT research, education and innovation with CMU colleagues, in order to get to know their culture and best practices. Applicants must be Portuguese citizens or foreigners with permanent residence in Portugal who hold a doctoral degree at the time of application and are affiliated with a Portuguese higher education institution or research laboratory. Since its creation, the CMU-Portugal Program has supported 96 visits to CMU.
The CMU-Portugal Visiting Student Program will support up to seven master’s or master’s students who have obtained a degree in the last five years in Portugal and in ICT-related areas, who will have the opportunity to carry out research work in ICT at CMU for a period of between two weeks and two months. While at CMU, candidates will be mentored by renowned professors and researchers and will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Carnegie Mellon culture. Visiting students must be Portuguese citizens or foreign citizens with permanent residence in Portugal. This initiative has already welcomed 69 student visits to CMU.
On June 4 (3 p.m. Lisbon / 10 a.m. Pittsburgh), the CMU-Portugal Coordination Office will hold an Online Information Session to clarify all doubts about these Calls.
