 General Overview

• The EXPERTS scholarships provide funding for academic and administrative mobilities between the EU and twelve targeted countries in South- and South-East Asia [SSEA] (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka and Thailand).
• The academic levels supported by the project are: Undergraduate, Master, PhD, Post-Doc and Staff.
• The duration of the mobilities range from short-term (exchange mobilities), which are available for all academic levels, to longer stays abroad (full-degree mobilities) for Master and PhD students.
• Important: the targeted countries and the availability of certain mobilities will depend on the specific call for applications (refer to the Elibilitity section).
