Call for projects Amidex incoming mobility grants embodies the Aix Marseille site's desire to open up its courses ever more to the international arena. At a time when the academic world is becoming increasingly fragile, this scheme aims to attract students from the four corners of the globe and encourage scientific and cultural enrichment without geographical or political barriers.
The scheme involves awarding incoming mobility grants financed by the Amidex foundation to international students on individual mobility contracts, enabling them to build a university course that meets their career plans on the Aix-Marseille site.
Target groups
- The teaching teams at the Aix-Marseille site: Aix-Marseille University, Sciences Po Aix, Centrale Méditerranée
The heads of subject areas, courses or years apply to the call for projects on behalf of their course, with the aim of welcoming international students into their cohort.
Each department, course or year head may apply for the number of grants corresponding to the number of international students expected, in line with their course and previous recruitment campaigns. The department, course or year head is responsible for selecting the students.
