Calls CMU-Portugal Mobility Initiatives – Visiting Professors and Researchers Program and Visiting Students Program – are open between May 30 and June 17, 2025.

Launched under the CMU-Portugal Program, with support from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT), both initiatives will support visits to Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh, to be completed by December 31, 2025.

Applicants must be Portuguese citizens or foreigners with permanent residence in Portugal who hold a PhD at the time of application and are affiliated with a Portuguese higher education institution or research laboratory. Since its inception, the CMU-Portugal Program has supported 96 visits to CMU.

The CMU-Portugal Visiting Student Program will support up to seven master's students or master's degree holders who have obtained a degree in the last five years in Portugal in ICT-related fields. They will have the opportunity to conduct ICT research at CMU for a period of two weeks to two months. While at CMU, candidates will be mentored by renowned professors and researchers and will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the Carnegie Mellon culture. Visiting students must be Portuguese citizens or foreign citizens with permanent residence in Portugal. This initiative has already received 69 student visits to CMU.
