Short-term Research Internships at UT Austin 2023  – Beneficiaries & Hosts

Fostering knowledge exchange through mobility initiatives with the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) has always been at the core of the UT Austin Portugal Program priorities.

Continuing the legacy that restarted last year, the UT Austin Portugal Program ran a new Call for Expressions of Interest for Short-Term Research Internships at UT Austin between May 2 and June 15. This call was aimed at faculty, researchers, or Master’s and PhD students affiliated with a Higher Education Institution, R&D centre or an R&D-performing company established in Portugal, who wanted to cross the Atlantic and spend two to three months at the UT Austin or at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC) to undertake R&D activities.

Thanks to a larger budget for mobility initiatives, the Program was to able provide 12 researchers with this research opportunity. Below you can find the selected candidates who will be developing their research work in world-renowned centers in UT Austin and MDACC and immersing themselves in their thriving cultures between September and December 2023.

Each beneficiary is hosted by a top-notch expert from UT Austin or MDACC, which you can also get to know below.
