Merging Voices

The MERGING VOICES consortium (MV) is based on institutional trust, founded on the excellent cooperation links developed among its partners during the last years. The MV is built on a strong cooperation, connecting Portugal’s North and South and bringing together some of the best practices that our Country has to offer. Through a total of 100 scholarships, the MV will support mobility of students,

academic and administrative staff in Europe and in 12 Partner Countries: Australia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Macao, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Vietnam. The main goals of the MV are to:
a) reinforce the (inter)national cooperation of the involved institutions, thus contributing to the fulfilment of the HEIs’ mission;
b) provide students with new mobility opportunities that may contribute to their academic growth, thus allowing them to benefit from an international experience beyond the “standard destinations”;
c) improve students’ knowledge and enhancing their capacities and skills, thus positively contributing to their employability in the near future;
d) bring more awareness to the staff (academic and administrative) on the importance of the international cooperation beyond the European borders so as to allow a closer and better understanding of the partner institutions.
