FAPESP opens call for proposals for internships at Italian universities Versão em português

BEPE scholarships are available for Master's, Doctoral, Direct Doctorate or Post-Doctoral scholarship holders in all areas of knowledge.

FAPESP launches a new call for proposals that allows recipients of FAPESP Post-Doctoral, Doctoral, Direct Doctorate or Master's scholarships to carry out short and medium-term internships at Italian universities, in any area of knowledge.

The call is part of the CONFAP/Italy 2023 Mobility Program, which results from the scientific cooperation agreement signed between, on the one hand, the National Council of State Research Support Foundations (CONFAP) – representing FAPESP and other state Research Support Foundations (FAPs) – and, on the other hand, the Network of Italian Universities, composed of 14 universities.

The research internship in Italy must necessarily be part of the research project on which the award of the Fellowship is based. BEPE scholarships, therefore, cannot be applied for independently, according to the rules of FAPESP's Research Internship Abroad Program (BEPE).

The scholarship holder can check out, through the website of the mobility program, the research opportunities offered by Italian institutions, divided by areas of knowledge. It is also possible to contact the institutions directly to access other opportunities.

The deadline for submitting proposals is March 11, 2024. Proposals should be sent to FAPESP, through SAGe, and to CONFAP, through the https://sistema.confap.org.br/platform. In addition to attaching his/her scientific project proposal and curriculum, the scholarship holder must present a letter from the institution abroad accepting him/her as a candidate and indicating the researcher responsible for supervision.

Specific guidelines for researchers in the state of São Paulo are available on page https://fapesp.br/16464.
