Where
does the funding come from for this programme?
The
programme is supported by science and medical research councils
and academies in 17
participating European countries and overseen by
a steering
committee consisting of a representative from each
country. The chairman of the programme is Mike Taussig (UK).
The 5 year programme commenced in June 2006 and the money
goes to running workshops,
training
courses and
travel
grants.
Can
I apply for a research grant via the programme?
No.
The ESF does not provide any direct contributions to research.
The funding supports science through workshops, training courses
and short-term fellowships. Research councils in individual
countries support research and you can find links to many
of these here.
Who
can apply for a travel grant?
Exchange
Grants are primarily intended for young scientists. However,
applications from more senior scientists with permanent positions
will be considered. Grants will not be awarded to provide
full salaries for postdoctoral fellows, nor to fund work of
an applicant at an institute to which he or she is already
affiliated. The project must be related to the Programme
Areas.
Candidates must be currently working in a European laboratory
and applying for a stay in a different European country. At
least one of the institutes involved must be located in a
country
supporting the programme (Austria, Belgium, Czech
Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom).

Who
can apply to attend a workshop or training course?
Anyone
working in a European laboratory can apply to attend one of
these events.
Who
should I contact for more information?
Queries
on workshops, training courses, conferences and travel grants should be directed to Cheryl
Smythe, the programme administrator.
