Our programmes

 

From 2023, STINT’s programme portfolio is focused on three flagship programmes:

  • Strategic Grants for Internationalisation for strategic university-wide internationalisation, including funding to promote the international mobility of young researchers
  • STINT International Postdoc for the internationalisation of young researchers
  • Teaching Sabbatical for the internationalisation of higher education, in particular teaching

In addition to these programmes, applications for Initiation Grants are accepted twice during 2023. The Mobility Grants programme is placed on hold, and future calls will be made as needed for specific initiatives.
