The UT Austin Portugal Program continues to strengthen one of its core pillars, researcher mobility, by creating opportunities for faculty, researchers, and Master’s or PhD students to expand their experience through international collaboration.

In 2025, the Program launched a new Call for Expressions of Interest for Short-Term Research Internships at UT Austin, selecting a cohort of researchers affiliated with a Portuguese Higher Education Institution, R&D center, or R&D-performing company.

Between October 2025 and June 2026, nine researchers will spend three to six months at UT Austin, working alongside leading faculty and researchers and accessing state-of-the-art research facilities. Their visits will support the development of new research collaborations and reinforce long-term partnerships between Portuguese institutions and UT Austin.

The selected researchers will conduct their work across the Program’s four strategic research areas.

• Advanced Computing
• Clean Energy
• Nanotechnologies
• Space–Earth Technologies

Below you can find the researchers selected for the 2025 edition, including the research area in which they are working and their host institution at UT Austin.
