Deadline: 14 August 2013 at 17:00 Brussels time
Open to: researchers based in EU Member States or Switzerland, Israel, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, Turkey, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Faroe Islands and Moldova
Fellowship: Financial support is provided for 12-24 months (full-time equivalent), for individual projects presented by experienced researchers
Description
This action provides financial support to individual mobility proposals presented by experienced researchers in liaison with host organisations established in the Member States or Associated Countries.
Experienced researchers applying to this action need to develop a research training project for the total duration of the fellowship that will enable the experienced researcher to progress in the development of his/her career. The fellowship is expected to be part of a structured, long-term personal career development plan that is coherent with past achievements and clearly defines the future aims of the researcher.
IEF proposals are welcomed from all areas of scientific and technological research. But there is one exception: research areas covered by the EURATOM Treaty cannot be funded.
IEF funding is provided for advanced training. This may include the acquisition of new and/or complementary skills, and transnational mobility. The training is based on a personal career development programme agreed between the researcher and the supervisor at the host organisation. Financial support is provided for a period of 12-24 months (full-time equivalent), for individual projects presented by experienced researchers from Member States or Associated Countries in liaison with a host organisation from a Member State or Associated Country.
The types of training might include:
- Training-through-research under supervision, through an individual personalised project
- Hands-on training to develop your scientific skills (new techniques or instruments, etc.) and your complementary skills (proposal preparation to request funding, patent applications, project management, tasks coordination, technical staff supervision, etc.)
- Intersectoral or interdisciplinary knowledge transfer
- The capacity to build collaborations
- Active scientific and financial management of your research project
- Developing organisational skills through organisation of training or dissemination events.
Eligibility
Researchers based in EU Member States or Associated Countries can apply for an IEF. The associated countries include Switzerland, Israel, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, Turkey, Croatia, Macedonia, Serbia, Albania, Montenegro, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Faroe Islands and Moldova.
You must have either a doctoral degree or at least 4 years’ full-time research experience, after obtaining a degree permitting you to embark on a doctorate. Generally, you must carry out the project on the premises of a host organisation in an EU or Associated Country other than your own. Special consideration is also given to those returning to a research career after a break.
