EUTOPIA_HEALTH Mentorship Mobility Programme
The Mentorship Mobility Programme within and for EUTOPIA_HEALTH offers one-month outgoing mobility opportunities for Research Managers from NOVA University Lisbon (NOVA) to other EUTOPIA_HEALTH consortium universities. During the mobility, Research Managers are invited to engage in the daily work of research support offices, under the guidance of an experienced Research Manager tutor from the host institution.
This initiative complements the EUTOPIA_HEALTH Training Programme for Research Managers, strengthening the research management community and fostering mentorship in research and innovation (R&I) management, particularly with a focus on Widening institutions.
Who can apply?
This first phase of the Call invites applications from Research Managers with any level of experience and working in any research management areas (pre-award, post-award, innovation, communication, infrastructure, policy, open science, data management, etc.) across all Health-related academic disciplines and topics, employed with NOVA.Applicants must have participated in the EUTOPIA_HEALTH Training Programme for Research Managers. Before submitting an application, applicants are required to identify one tutor from the Consortium, whose service and/or role align with their objectives.
Duration and budget
The Mentorship Mobility lasts one month but can be split into two shorter on-site periods of 15 days each, as long as they are both completed within six months counting from the beginning of the first mobility period. One Mentorship Mobility award will be funded by NOVA, in the amount of 4000 EUR, covering accommodation, travel, and living expenses. NOVA will apply its own expenditure policies, according to the Regulation below.
