Frequently asked questions

I have contacted people who gave suggestions but asked to contact later for providing more information, after closure of the application period. What should I do?

Answ: mention in your MP the University, name and email of the person you contacted: the person who will rate your application can contact him/her for more detail, if necessary.

Can I submit several applications?

Answ: If you are staff-member of one APU, you may apply for a Staff mobility and a Student mobility (Master, Doctorat, Postdoc), but you can only receive one grant: the selection process will decide what can be offered to you. We will only consider one Student application per person: if you submitted more than one, please contact emmasia2012@gmail.com to ask to cancel all but one, explaining which you want to keep; if you don’t we may select one randomly what has little chance to be optimal to you. Remember: if you apply for short-term mobility your chances are much higher, especially if you had contacts with your home institution that let you expect that they can recognize you credits. If you had multiple positive contacts with possible host universities, chose the one you expect to get the strongest support, and mention all other positive contacts: if the university you selected finally can’t support your application fully, they will be happy to help you and contact the person at the other university.

Result deadline: No result deadline at the time being. Results will be published after rating by Asian and European partners, balanced (gender, subject, home and host partner) selection by the Emma Board of Directors, and acceptation by the Executive Agency for the European Commission. Earliest guess is 2^nd half of March 2012.

How and from where I get doctoral supervision? You have to find some researcher who accepts to supervise your doctoral work. These people belong to University laboratories and most usually have a webpage. Accepting to provide doctoral supervision is a personal choice of the researcher, so you have to show him/her some evidence of your interest in the topic of his/her research and that your own work will contribute to it. More and more university doctoral schools display on their website research topics offered by their researchers; you may favour to contact those researchers.
