Berkeley-Portugal Faculty Mobility Grant

The Center for Portuguese Studies supports cooperation between UC Berkeley and Portugal by providing funding to UC Berkeley faculty members who are invited to present their research at a Portuguese university. Funding can be requested by UC Berkeley faculty members from all departments and all disciplines.

Applicants are required to submit a one-page application letter describing the topic of their research presentation and the duration of their intended stay, as well as an invitation letter from a Portuguese faculty member. Upon approval by the CSP Faculty Director, the Center for Portuguese Studies Executive Director will provide a Direct Bill-ID to the Berkeley faculty member to cover the costs of an economy flight to Portugal and a lump sum of $250/day to cover the costs of the stay in Portugal. The maximum amount of funding, including flight costs, is $3,000. UC Berkeley faculty can only apply to the Berkeley-portugal Faculty Mobility Grant once per academic year. Please note that this grant is open exclusively to current faculty members; professor emeriti are not eligible to apply. Within one month of their research presentation, awardees must submit a photo from the event and a 200-word (minimum) report detailing their experience to csp@berkeley.edu for inclusion in our annual report.
