Introduction

To make accessing the information easier, we have included a grid that should help lead those who would like to work or study abroad either individually or in a group to identify the programmes or projects that they could use to do so. It is also designed to assist educational establishments to be able to access those resources which will enable them to participate in international opportunities.

This is a key word list of all of the resources available to everyone in Scotland to assist them to work or study abroad. Once you have identified your area of interest a link to the relevant programme(s) or project(s) is given.

Many of the opportunities named in the sections 4 to 6 below are repeated in several areas because they refer to the same European Funding Programmes (EFP). In order to avoid duplication full details of the most common EFPs are given in this section.
