EU Forschungsförderung

Dear All,


The Calls for proposers 2011 for the Marie Curie Fellowships are open. The deadline for proposals in 2011 is August 11, 2011 (5 p.m, Brussels time).

What are Marie Curie Fellowships?

Marie Curie Fellowships apply for postdoctoral researchers at all career stages or research experience. A researcher may submit any research topic and choose any suitable partner institution abroad (Europe or overseas, depending on the Fellowship scheme). One mayor requirement is a mobility phase, i.e. the researcher may not apply for a fellowship in the country where he/she is already residing / working (exception: the Outgoing International Fellowship).

The aim of the Marie Curie Programme is to support researchers with advanced research training to broaden their scientific expertise.

There are three different types of Marie Curie Fellowships:

1. European Grants (Intra-European Fellowships, IEF): Financial support for advanced training for European researchers for a period of 12 to 24 month. The host institution has to be located in another European country. Researchers of all nationalities may apply to this program, if they are already living / working in Europe.
   All relevant documents for application and the Electronic Proposal Submission System can be found here:
   http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/page/people?callIdentifier=FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IEF
   
   
2. Grants for Europeans to go outside Europe (Outgoing International Fellowships, IOF): Funding opportunities for experienced European researchers to boost their international career through 12 to 24 months training in a high-level research institution in a Third Country (e.g. USA, Canada, Japan). The IOF comprises a mandatory subsequent 12 month reintegration phase at a host institution in an EU Member State or Associated Country. This Program offers within the Marie Curie Program the unique possibility to apply for a fellowship e.g. with CAESAR to go for a certain period e.g. to the United States and to return to e.g. the former Max-Planck-Institut / CAESAR. This program is also open for international researchers having resided for at least 5 years in the European Union.
   All relevant documents for application and the Electronic Proposal Submission System can be found here:

3. Grants for Scientists to come (back) to Europe (International Incoming Fellowships): Fellowship for postdoctoral researchers from Third Countries (such as USA, China, Korea, Thailand, Australia, etc.) - and as a new rule - for Europeans having resided for at least two years in a Third Country, who are planning to carry out a research project in Europe. The research project can be funded between 12 and 24 months.

Funding will be provided for the own salary and lump sums for research-, mobility- and training costs.
