Practical cooperation program

What are the international practices of cooperation?

Each year the vice-rector Department for International Relations provides different grants for international cooperation practices in developing countries (not just Latin America but also Africa, Southeast Asian countries ...).

The aim of this program is to support the cooperation and development of all aspects related to the universities in these countries, establishing agreements and partnerships that allow the realization of these practices.

The length of these practices is up to 8 weeks at the different Agriculture and Veterinary Faculties of those universities that have signed agreements with our Center. This particular stay usually starts in April and ends in December of each academic year.

Requirements for access to practical cooperation

• Community Citizenship or permanent residence in Spain
• Be enrolled in the course where the stay will take place
• Participate in the last degree courses

Endowment of the grants for practical cooperation

These grants provide a lump sum of about 1100 € to those who will have to subtract from their insurance the corresponding amount.

Considerations for the application

It is important to take into account that you may not receive your requested destination, so you should be prepared for obtaining another destination different to the initially chosen.

These cooperation grants also provide financial support to students from those less developed countries to enable them to come here. It is very appreciated to offer accommodation to those students.

You must also write a letter explaining the reasons for the implementation of these practices as well as an interview. The motivation for cooperating with these less privileged people is highly appreciated.

Steps to perform once selected

You must hire an insurance policy.

You must apply for a visa at the consulate of the destination country.

You must arrange the accommodation with the host University.
