— Researcher exchange
FEHRL Mobility Programme
FEHRL is pleased to launch the FEHRL Mobility Programme, a new initiative designed to strengthen collaboration across our network by making it easier for researchers to spend time at fellow member institutes. Through short and medium term exchanges, participants can share expertise, access complementary facilities and work alongside colleagues on joint research topics.
Apply as a visitor Offer to host
Beyond individual career development, the programme aims to build lasting links between institutes, accelerate knowledge transfer and reinforce FEHRL's role as a leading European community for road research.
Why take part?

Learn from peers working on similar challenges in other countries.
Access expertise and infrastructure
Discover the facilities, equipment and know how available across the FEHRL network.
Build cooperation
Lay the foundations for joint publications, collaborative proposals and long term partnerships.

How it works

Interested organisations are put in contact to agree on topics, timing, duration and expected outputs.
04
Exchange
Visits can range from a few days to several weeks, depending on the needs of both organisations.
Topics
Exchanges can cover any area of road research. Some hot topics already identified by members include:
Road inspection data analysis Artificial intelligence applications AI powered knowledge bases On premise AI systems
Other topics are very welcome.
For visiting researchers
Apply as a visiting researcher
Would you like to spend time at another FEHRL institute? Member organisations can put forward one or more staff members who wish to take part in an exchange. Tell us about the topics you would like to work on, the expertise or facilities you are looking for, and your preferred timing and duration.
Apply as a visitorFor host institutes
Offer to host as a member institute
Is your institute ready to welcome researchers from across the network? Let us know which topics, facilities and expertise you can offer, and when you could receive visitors.
Send your hosting offerThe form is open on an ongoing basis and takes about 10 to 15 minutes to complete. The same form is used to apply as a visitor, to offer to host, or both. We recommend gathering the information internally before you start. Submitting the form does not commit your organisation: any exchange is agreed directly between the organisations involved.
