MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL BILATERAL AGREEMENTS SICUE
The bilateral national mobility agreements in the framework of the SICUE program allow the mobility of students in the Spanish universities participating in the program.
It is essential that there is a bilateral agreement signed between the URV and the destination university so that students have the option to apply for a mobility place in the annual SICUE mobility call and the mobility is covered.
The duration of the SICUE mobility stay that must appear in the bilateral agreement can only be 5 months or 9 months, according to the call for national SICUE mobility managed by the CRUE.
