Types of EURAXESS Support Centres
EURAXESS Support Centres are structured to meet your needs at national, regional, and institutional levels:
- Bridgehead Organisations (BHOs): These are the national representatives that coordinate the EURAXESS network’s activities within each country, in close collaboration with their respective Member State.
- EURAXESS Service Centres (ESCs): Operating at national, regional, or institutional levels, these centres provide hands-on support to researchers and their families. ESCs work closely with their national representatives to implement coordinated support strategies.
- Local Contact Points (LCPs): These are typically embedded within research institutions or universities, offering internal support services tailored to the needs of incoming researchers and institutional staff.
