Students from third countries
in Portugal: challenges of integration
in a (post)pandemic era
Given the disruptive nature of the Covid-19 pandemic in international student mobility, new challenges were posed for the integration of international students in host institutions and countries. In this context, this project, financed by Fund for Asylum, Migration and Integration (PT/2021/FAMI/706) aims to examine the changes in the profiles of international students from third countries who entered in Portugal since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to investigate how these students evaluate and give meaning to their experiences during the (post)pandemic period.
