Through these mobility opportunities, WIN affiliated researchers can work directly with colleagues at Donders – and vice versa – creating space for joint projects, shared expertise, and fresh perspectives across all disciplines and career stages. Researchers from PhD candidates to professors are encouraged to take part, as the scheme enables valuable short-term visits to deepen existing collaborations or explore new ones. Also MSc students can apply to fund two to three months of their research internship.

Grants may be awarded up to the cost of the flight (up to €1180/C$1700) and a living allowance (max €900/C$1340 per month + €8/C$12 per day), following the guidelines of the Erasmus program.
Xiang Li, a PhD candidate from Western University visited the Donders Institute in 2024 and noted
“During the seminar, I had several engaging discussions with Radboud students on topics such as the ultimate loss function of artificial intelligence. We exchanged perspectives and learned a great deal from one another.” He also noted “Exchange programmes offer a wonderful opportunity to understand different cultures and ways of thinking. During an exchange programme, you meet many new people, form friendships, exchange ideas, encounter new things and experiences, and absorb a wealth of new information. This new information and these experiences will broaden your perspective, allowing you to see issues from a more comprehensive viewpoint. Therefore, exchange programs are excellent opportunities for everyone.”
