The present guidelines are aimed at researchers involved in the running of ESF RNPs (such as RNP Chair and Steering Committee members) as well as researchers interested in participating in activities supported in the frame of an RNP.
They are applicable as of 1 September 2011 to all ESF Research Networking Programmes (RNPs), running or to be launched, and replace all former versions of guidelines applicable to RNPs, without prejudice to existing written contracts. ESF reserves the right to modify the present version or substitute new guidelines as it considers necessary.
