Visiting Researcher's Guide - EURAXESS Estonia

INTRODUCTION
The aim of “The ERA-MORE Visiting Researcher’s Guide to Estonia” is to help researchers from
all over the world who plan to come to work or study in Estonia. The information provided
herein is relevant and applicable for researchers, academic personnel and doctorate students,
but is not necessarily applicable to other mobile workers.
Our aim is to make your mobility experience as easy as possible. This guide offers you
guidelines for arranging employment and work formalities and also for managing the practical
matters of everyday life in Estonia. We have tried to provide information for a short visit as
well as for long-term research work in Estonia, so that you can get the most from Estonia’s
excellent, although not very well-known research landscape.
“The ERA-MORE Visiting Researcher’s Guide to Estonia” will lead you to various sources on the
Internet, where you can find more detailed information. The Estonian Researcher’s Mobility
Portal www.smartEstonia.ee provides updated information on all of the topics covered in this
guide.
