Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme 2022–2027: EU-Funded Scholarships and International Study Opportunities for African Students, Trainees and University Staff

Overview

The Intra-Africa Academic Mobility Scheme 2022–2027 is a European Union-supported initiative that strengthens higher education, promotes international academic exchanges, and expands learning mobility across Africa. The programme supports partnerships between African higher education institutions and creates scholarship opportunities for students, trainees, and academic and administrative staff to participate in international learning and professional development activities within the African continent. Managed by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency on behalf of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for International Partnerships, the scheme aims to make Africa a more attractive destination for higher education, research, innovation, and academic collaboration.

Who can apply

The initiative provides scholarship opportunities for students, trainees, and academic and administrative staff seeking to participate in international learning and professional development activities. The programme places particular emphasis on inclusive mobility, encouraging the participation of women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds who may face barriers to accessing international education. Prospective applicants can pursue academic training, research-related mobility, or professional development in another African country, though actual opportunities depend on the participating institutional partnerships, available academic programmes, and the specific eligibility requirements established by each funded project.
