Visiting Scholars

The IDOH Consortium will award scholarships to least four invited scholars and/or guest lecturers for a total minimum of eight weeks in the 2020-2022, 2021-2023, 2022-2024 and 2023-2025 intakes of the programme. Scholars may be from the partners of the IDOH Consortium (including from associated partners) or from an organisation outside the Consortium, provided it is clearly linked to the IDOH+ course. Scholars paid by other EU funds may not apply.

A lecturer who could be interested in being involved in the programme should send a CV and cover letter to the coordinators.

Guest lecturers will be selected by the IDOH+ Co-ordinating Committee.

Scholars/guest lecturers should:

  • demonstrate outstanding academic and/or professional experience
  • bring concrete added value to the EMJMD intake in terms of student-centred teaching/lecturing, research activities, Master thesis support, academic/professional networking, etc
  • contribute, after their visiting scholar activities, to the promotion and dissemination of the Erasmus Mundus Programme in general, and the IDOH in particular, in their university and country of origin. Scholars will be asked to write a short report/testimonial for use on the Consortium website and for inclusion in reports to the EACEA.

Priority may be given to applicants who wish to work on a joint research funding application/project or joint publication in collaboration with academic(s) at the proposed EMJMD IDOH host university.

Scholars holding an Erasmus Mundus scholarship will normally spend 1 - 2 weeks at one of the Consortium's three academic partner universities. Scholars contributing to the programme at Université de Tours and Hannover Medical School will usually be required between September – December; scholars contributing at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona will usually be required between January and May. Please see the details of the courses within the programme for an indication of the subjects taught in each place.

The remuneration for visiting scholars will be determined by the Consortium for each edition and will include all travel, accommodation and additional subsistence costs.

The host university will provide office space and assistance with travel and accommodation
