Thirteen member universities offer 36 positions within the framework of the mobility programme for students of the Compostela Group of Universities. 

The number of exchange offers has experienced a 28% increase in the 2023 call of the Stella Junior mobility programme of the Compostela Group of Universities (CGU). This year the concurrent institutions submitted 36 placements, while last year, there were 28.

These positions are from 24 departments in business administration, education, oenology, teacher and student training, internationalisation, research, marketing areas, and language learning centres.

Moreover, institutional participation continues to climb, with a growth of 18%. In this call, thirteen member universities participated in this first stage, compared to eleven in 2022.

These institutions are based in Spain, Poland, Mexico and the Republic of Serbia.

The start of the application period

In the second stage of the programme, students from the 61 member universities can participate and apply for the ten grants of 400 euros provided by the network. Besides, in 19 placement offers, the universities provide accommodation or complementary support.

Applications must be submitted by 17 March 2023 (12:00 PM – noon. Spanish Peninsular time) using the online form available on the Stella Junior webpage, where exchange places are also published.

After the deadline for submission, the CGU Executive Secretariat will check the documentation received and will open a period for remedying the shortcomings.

Once this process has been completed, the selection committee will evaluate the applications and designate the beneficiaries of the grants. The Compostela Group of Universities will soon publish the composition of this committee on its website.
