Take the opportunity to build an international network, broaden your horizons and create new opportunities in your future career!

Staff exchange as a doctoral student (not research)

Going on exchange as staff means opportunities to develop skills by, for example, job shadowing or making study visits to a company or higher education institution in a Programme country where there is an interesting research group or that has equipment or works with methods that you want to learn more about. It is important to highlight how mobility is linked to the internationalisation work at Umeå University and especially your own work tasks.
