The Transform4Europe (T4EU) Chair Programme is now open for its second call for applications.

The initiative supports visits of a minimum of five working days at one of the T4EU partner universities. During their stay, selected T4EU Chairs will:

The programme is open to academic staff from all disciplines, and encourages proposals that are innovative and collaborative in nature.

  • Eligibility criteria,
