Application
• One application per HEI
• UHR will not grant any applications for less than 24 months
• UHR recommends us to use already well established
partners
• Limited budget and a limited number of mobilities means that
KTH is in for a great competition.

number of universities.

project with a Partner Country, on the following criteria:
• Relevance of the strategy (maximum 30 points)

(including scholarship payment).
In case of approved application, a call for applying for mobility will be set
up.
