About
The University of Primorska (UP) and the University of Trieste (UniTS) have launched the third joint call for Visiting Professorships within the Transform4Europe (T4EU) European University Alliance. The initiative offers academics from research institutions outside the T4EU Alliance an opportunity to spend time at both universities, contributing to teaching, research and international academic collaboration.
The call is open to full, associate and assistant professors, or individuals holding equivalent positions at foreign research institutions. Visiting professors will contribute to existing bachelor’s, master’s, specialisation or doctoral programmes and work with academic colleagues at the host departments.
A visiting professorship will in principle last 20 days, divided equally between the University of Primorska and the University of Trieste, and must be completed by 30 June 2027. Alongside teaching, visiting professors are expected to participate in research activities in collaboration with their host departments.
The programme welcomes collaboration across a broad range of disciplines, including economics and management, humanities, education, artificial intelligence and data science, mathematics, biology and biotechnology, genomics and neuroscience, psychology, and health sciences.
Proposed activities should contribute to one or more of the three T4EU transformation areas:
- Digital transformation and smart regions
- Environmental transformation and sustainability
- Societal transformation, community building and inclusion
How to apply
Applications are submitted jointly by the relevant departments/faculties of the University of Primorska and the University of Trieste and must include a programme of the proposed visit and teaching activities. Each department may submit up to two applications.
There are two application deadlines for the 2026/27 academic year:
- 1st term: 21 September 2026
- 2nd term: 12 February 2027
More information is available in the Open Call.
