In addition to the agreements framed in the Erasmus Programme, ESAP develops other international cooperation agreements with HEI, taking into account the importance of international scientific collaboration and sharing of experiences and knowledge, in particular to a mutual understanding and closer cooperation of the school for both parties. HEI partners At the momemt ESAP has the following HEI international cooperation agreements: - Federal University of Pernambuco (Brasil) - Federal University of Bahia (Brasil) - University of Vigo – Faculty of Fine Arts (Spain) * - University of Valladolid (Spain) * - Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) - Federal University of S. Paulo (Brasil) * This cooperation agreement is not for student’s international mobility’s. We have an Erasmus Bilateral Agreement with this Institution for that particular purpose. To analyze foreign applications for an international mobility here, outside the Erasmus Program, ESAP requests the previous establishment of a Protocol between ESAP and the Home University. If your School is not our Partner and you wish to apply here for an international moblity, you must contact your School Internacional Relations Office to inform them about your interest and, in case they wish, to propose our School the establishment of that Protocol. They must contact us formally through the e-mail address: grei@esap.pt In the following of that formal contact and the presentation of this requested FORM, our Courses Direction will make a first analyses and after, our Scientific Board will analyze it and decide about the approval or refusal of that Protocol proposal.
