The ERA Shuttle project invites you to benefit from temporary work placements, also known as secondments. The secondments are expected to take place in Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands, as well as in Slovenia, the Czech Republic and Romania.
You are eligible for secondment if you are a UM-based resident academic or a research manager & administrator (RMA) formally employed at the University of Malta; your contract is covering the timeline of your secondment plus the duration of the mandatory return phase, which is equal to the duration of the secondment.
Deadline for applications – 31 July 2025.
How to submit an application for secondment?
Familiarise yourself with ERA Shuttle's application process, including notes on eligibility, and see what templates are available and what supporting documents you need to upload, and then go on to submit via this online form.
