A new pilot program for UMAP administrative staff and faculty is open for applications from January 1-31, 2025. The UMAP Staff Mobility Grant Program aims to promote international cooperation and the exchange of knowledge among academic and administrative staff members across UMAP member institutions. By participating in activities such as shadowing, training, or other engagements abroad, staff members can foster collaboration, innovation, and mutual understanding within the global higher education community.   A total of $5,000 USD is available, to be distributed as individual grants of up to $1,500 USD each. Grants may cover travel expenses, living costs, and other related expenses. Applicants are expected to secure matching funds or in-kind contributions from their home or host institutions.
