EXPLORE Call for Proposals
EXPLORE is a call for proposals from the University of Montpellier, funded as part of the I-SITE Excellence Program (P.E.I.), aimed at supporting international mobility for faculty and doctoral students.
The purpose of this initiative is to foster the development of new international academic, scientific, and institutional collaborations; to strengthen the University of Montpellier’s strategic partnerships; to support the acquisition of knowledge and expertise; and to contribute to its international influence.
Simply attending a symposium or conference does not qualify.
The program consists of two main components, depending on the target audience and the type of mobility.
Staff Section
The "Staff" section is intended for teachers, Professors, researchers, engineers, technicians, and administrative staff at the University of Montpellier, its P.E.I. partners, and its international partners.
It covers short-term individual international mobility—both incoming and outgoing—as well as outgoing group mobility.
These exchange programs make it possible to establish or strengthen collaborations, develop institutional partnerships, support the development of training or research projects, and promote the acquisition of knowledge and expertise on an international level.
Ph.D. Students Section
The doctoral student section supports short-term international mobility for doctoral students in the form of individual incoming or outgoing research stays.
It aims to enhance doctoral students’ international experience, promote the acquisition of knowledge and expertise, and contribute to the development of collaborations between research institutions.
Being hosted at the University of Montpellier
Applicants wishing to participate in an incoming exchange program at the University of Montpellier are invited to identify a host institution that aligns with their academic, scientific, or institutional goals.
