EURAXESS - Researchers in motion

EURAXESS has 40 national portals with country-specific information, packed with practical advice on all matters concerning researcher’s professional and daily life, as well as career development, job, funding and hosting opportunities.

The Italian national EURAXESS portal provides information and assistance to mobile researchers – by means of this portal and with the support of the 15 local  EURAXESS Centres. 

The local EURAXESS Centres provide free and customized assistance to all mobile researchers and their families seeking advice on issues related to their relocation across borders. 

 

Each year the University of Siena welcomes a considerable number of foreign professors in the context of international mobility programmes (Erasmus + Staff mobility for teaching, bilateral agreements agreements, Coimbra Group, etc.). The Welcome Office offers a reception and orientation service for visiting professors and researchers, to help with the academic and logistic organization of their stay in Siena.
