Arqus universities start opening the calls 2021/22 for Research Stays and Site Visits

Action Line 6 “Research support & Early-Stage Researcher Development”, coordinated by the University of Graz (Austria), has set itself the goal of sustainably promoting existing and emerging cooperation in the most diverse profile-forming areas and intensifying cooperation in research at the partner universities.

With the following calls 2021/22, the Action Line 6 team would like to come closer to this goal once again and welcomes all researchers and early-stage researchers at the Arqus partner universities to take advantage of the opportunities of different forms of cooperation offered:

1. Research Stays
