Students enrolled at NOVA FCT.
Final-year students who apply for an Erasmus+ Traineeship for Recent Graduates must complete their traineeship within one year of obtaining their degree. For example, if the student graduates in September 2022, the traineeship must be completed by September 2023.
Anyone who is already a graduate cannot apply.
Students can participate in mobility periods (Studies + Traineeships) up to a maximum of 12 months per study cycle, regardless of the number and type of mobility activities. Participation with a EU zero-grant is also considered for the calculation of this maximum length.
Any previous experience under Erasmus, in any of its faculties, is to be added for the total of 12 months for each study cycle.
Doctoral students, who have a grant from any other organisation, should confirm with such organisation, if their grants are compatible. The Erasmus grant is financed by European funds.
For SMT mobility, there is no need to establish interinstitutional agreements between UNL and the receiving institution, as both parties are legally bound by the Learning Agreement for Traineeships (Traineeship Plan). However, there is an exception for mobilities in Partner Countries and Other Countries, where an agreement is mandatory whenever the traineeship takes place at a Higher Education Institution. For other types of receiving entities, it is not required.
Students interested in applying for an Erasmus Traineeship (SMT) must be registered at NOVA FCT.
Students must have a receiving institution and prior agreement from the Erasmus Coordinator of their course, from the Course Coordinator and the supervisor of the dissertation/thesis at NOVA FCT, depending on the type of traineeship they will undertake (Curricular, Extracurricular and for Recent Graduates).
Erasmus traineeships can be carried out with or without a grant. If you already have a receiving institution, the agreement of your supervisor and do not intend to apply for a grant, please contact us by email to: div.mie.outgoing@fct.unl.pt.
The Erasmus traineeship can be part of the curricular plan of the student (curricular traineeship) or it can be an extra-curricular traineeship.
For both situations NOVA FCT guarantees the formal recognition of the traineeship period abroad, provided that the mobility had the previous approval of the Erasmus Coordinator of the course and of the tutor; that the trainee has fulfilled the work plan initially established and that, at the end of the traineeship period, the student submitted the final approval of the traineeship at the DMIE. Subsequently, this evaluation will be forwarded to the Erasmus Coordinator and the student's supervisor.
The traineeship period will be recognised according to the new NOVA FCT Regulation for the Creditation of Competences, Training and Professional Experience available at: https://www.fct.unl.pt/sites/default/files/regcredcomp_459_dr91_11mai2020.pdf
The internship period will be recognized only in the Diploma Supplement.
Final-year students, who carry out a traineeship for recent graduates, are to require the Europass Mobility to be issued.
The trainee is responsible for accommodation and travelling.
To have medical assistance abroad, you should apply for a European Health Insurance Card (CESD – Cartão Europeu de Seguro de Doença), which is free of charge and valid for one year. The CESD card can be required at Loja do Cidadão, Social Security or any other institution with which you are registered.
Please thoroughly read the information on http://www.seg-social.pt/pedido-cartao-europeu-seguro-doenca
The school insurance of FCT NOVA covers the risks inherent to the activities of the internship in the destination country, as long as these activities are developed within the scope of the course.
To have medical assistance abroad, you will need to request the CESD (European Health Insurance Card), which is valid for three years, at the Citizen's Shop or Social Security. For more information about this card, please consult the website http://www.seg-social.pt/pedido-cartao-europeu-seguro-doenca
If the mobility is in the UK or Switzerland, you will need to contract a health insurance policy that allows you to have medical assistance.
