Complete scholarship details
The 2027 Erasmus+ KA1 International Credit Mobility call supports research stays at the University of Groningen for regular Universidad de Chile master's students and, exceptionally, first-year doctoral students with a clear joint/double-degree academic plan. The stay must last up to 90 days between 11 January and 1 May 2027 and must finish before 31 July 2027. Five Erasmus+ ICM awards reimburse travel costs up to €1,700 and provide €850 per month; two selected applicants meeting the stated socioeconomic under-representation criteria receive an additional €250 per month. Reserve-list applicants may also be considered for institutional support: Groningen may provide three one-time awards up to €1,500, while Universidad de Chile may fund up to three additional airfare grants up to €1,500. Applicants must complete the registration form available when the call opens and email one combined PDF application package to latinamerica@rug.nl and convocatoriasdpp@uchile.cl with the subject format stated in the official call.
Eligibility requirements
Applicants must be regular students in a Universidad de Chile master's program, or exceptionally regular first-year doctoral students with a clear academic plan toward a joint or double doctorate with the University of Groningen. They need support from their UChile postgraduate program and prior acceptance by a University of Groningen supervisor for the proposed research stay. The call also states that applicants must not previously have received travel aid, scholarship or financial support from UChile's Department of Postgraduate and Postgraduate Studies for an international mobility or similar academic activity.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Secure a University of Groningen supervisor and pre-acceptance before applying.
- Prepare all required documents as one PDF and follow the official email subject/file-name format.
- Applicants needing Groningen matchmaking support should request it by 20 September 2026.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified against the current Universidad de Chile 2027 call. It opens 1 September 2026 and requires the application package by 11 October 2026 at 23:59 Chile time. For Santiago on that date, UTC offset is UTC−03:00, normalized here to 12 October 2026 at 02:59 UTC. The official page warns that documents/process details may still change before opening, so applicants should re-check the call at submission time.
