The UPHF EURAXESS Centre can help you with your international mobility plans to our university
Are you a doctoral student, researcher, teacher, research engineer, reader or trainee in research, teaching or administration with an international mobility project for the UPHF? If so, you have access to a range of free support services, the EURAXESS services.
What is EURAXESS?
EURAXESS is the name of the mission to facilitate the settlement of internationally mobile students in higher education and research establishments, in order to carry out research and/or teaching activities.
