SU International is delighted to invite SU academic and professional and support staff (PASS) to apply for the following international mobility opportunities. The call is currently closed.
Applicants can apply for the INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATION & MOBILITY GRANT (IC&MG):
The grant provides funding for SU academic and PASS to strengthen collaboration with counterparts at any institutions abroad and makes provision for undertaking a visit to an institution or hosting a visitor[1]. This call excludes mobility to African countries which is supported through the Africa Collaboration Grant (ACG). Grant allocations will be between R20 000 and R30 000 (made on a scale) to facilitate the mobility of staff through the IC&MG. Interested staff members are expected to make contact with possible host environments at the partner university directly to confirm the host and possible work plan before submitting an application to the IC&MG.
Although mobility to any institution abroad will be considered, the following institutional partners will receive preference in this round:
- KU Leuven, BELGIUM[2]
- University of Hamburg, GERMANY
- Humboldt University of Berlin, GERMANY
- TU Dresden, GERMANY
- University of Stuttgart, GERMANY
- University of Groningen, NETHERLANDS
- Lund University, SWEDEN
- Coventry University, UK
- University of Bath, UK
- North Carolina State University, USA
- University of Sao Paulo, BRAZIL
- Waseda University, JAPAN
- Science Po, FRANCE

Notes:
[1] Funding for hosting a visitor will be restricted to the list of partners who are prioritized for this call and will also be aligned with the individual bilateral agreements in place where applicable.
[2] The structure of staff mobility with KU Leuven has changed. Outgoing SU staff can apply for travel support, but accommodation is no longer covered by KU Leuven unless the hosting faculty or department is able to provide accommodation. SU International can only offer a partial contribution towards hosting a visitor from KU Leuven.
[3] Applicants should also follow any application instructions as indicated on the network's page and may need to submit an application there in addition to the IC&MG application.
