ConTex Programs

ConTex programs provide Mexican Ph.D. students educational opportunities at University of Texas System institutions, allow for the exchange of postdoctoral and faculty fellows and enable visiting students to participate in research projects. 

The ConTex office was established by the UT System to support a program of cooperation with Mexico’s National Council of Humanities, Sciences and Technologies (CONAHCYT). This program expands current collaboration with CONACYT and many other first-rate academic institutions in Mexico. 

ConTex connects Texas with one of the most important trade partners of the United States. It supports bilateral efforts to enhance academic and research cooperation between Texas and Mexico. Programs are available for Doctoral Fellowships, Postdoctoral Research Fellowships and Collaborative Research Grants.
