Visiting Students & Scholars

MIT welcomes Portuguese students and scholars interested in collaborating on joint research projects on the MIT campus. This opportunity is open to students, faculty and researchers who are part of a joint MPP research project between Portugal and MIT. To begin the application process, prospective visitors should first contact the principal investigator at MIT with whom they’d like to work to request an invitation and discuss how collaborating with an MIT laboratory would help their work.

PhD candidates may also opt to do their research at another foreign institution. Acceptance there is based on the scientific interests shared by the student and the hosting laboratory, as well as the hosting institution’s own regulations.

Visiting students and scholars may be able to apply for funding from FCT for their visit. Stay tuned for the call for visiting students and scholars!
