Custom mobility programs in Portugal
When the standard categories don't fit, we design from scratch: thematic programmes, mixed VET+culture itineraries, multi-country chains, alumni reunions or company missions in Portugal.

Why institutions choose this model
- Project-grade design discipline, not template reuse — every custom programme starts with two scoping workshops and a written design document.
- Portuguese network gives access to closed venues and senior speakers — wine houses in Porto, design studios in Aveiro, biotech labs in Coimbra, ministry offices in Lisbon.
- Single Portuguese operator across multi-city and multi-country flows — same programme manager whether you visit one city or rotate through five.
- Co-designed learning outcomes mapped to your accreditation framework — ECVET, ECTS, MQF, framework-agnostic on request.
- Production-grade logistics: technical riders for venues, simultaneous interpretation when needed, transport for groups up to 60.
- Custom KPIs and post-programme evaluation — we report on what matters for your funder, not just what's easy to count.
- Multi-language delivery in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French and German — speakers, materials and on-site coordination.
- Track record on themed cohorts since 2009: wine bootcamps, design residencies, alumni reunions and ministerial study visits.
FAQ
Questions coordinators usually ask
Minimum group size?+
Typically 8 for custom group programmes; smaller cohorts (4–7) are possible at a per-head premium that covers the fixed design and coordination cost.
How long does the design phase take?+
From first call to signed-off design document: 3–5 weeks for a single-city programme, 6–8 weeks for multi-city or multi-country.
Can we mix funding sources?+
Yes — we structure the programme so each cost line maps cleanly to its eligible funding source, with separate invoicing if required.
Do you handle multi-country itineraries?+
Yes — Portugal paired with Spain or Italy is the most common combination, delivered jointly with our sister offices.
Who owns the IP and content created?+
By default the sending institution; we license back any reusable methodology assets we co-create.
Can the programme be replicated annually?+
Yes — about 60% of our custom programmes return as multi-year cohorts. Year 2 onwards reuses the design and saves 30–40% of the setup cost.
