The pan-European Researcher’s Mobility Portal
The pan-European Researcher’s Mobility Portal
Why Such a Portal?
One of the major obstacles to
transnational mobility is the
lack of adequate information on
available grants, fellowships and
opportunities for researchers in
Europe as well as on questions
related to visa, access to
employment, social security
rights, fiscal matters and cultural
aspects when researchers move
to another country.
