Travel Grants - Call for Applications [CLOSED]
The European Science Foundation’s Transglutaminases Programme was launched in May 2000. It was a major European scheme for collaborative research in this field, and was supported by research councils and academies of science in Belgium, Finland, Germany, Hungary and Italy. The programme focused on the structures, mechanisms and functions of the transglutaminases.
As part of the Programme’s activities, travel grants were offered to enable young scientists / researchers working in the field of transglutaminases research to travel to a laboratory in another country for a period of up to six months. Travel grants for young scientists were granted for a period of one to six months while travel grants for senior scientists were granted for a period of one week to one month.
The final deadline for applications for ESF-PCL support was 7 October 2005.
Conditions of Eligibility
To be considered for a travel grant, a candidate has to:
- undertake work applicable to the Programme;
- apply for a stay in a laboratory in a country other than the country of origin;
- return to the institute of origin upon termination so that the institute may also benefit from his/her broadened knowledge.
Priority will be given to applications in which one or both laboratories are located in a country participating in the Programme. Priority will be given to activities in the following order:
1. between contributing countries;
2. between a contributing country and a non-contributing ESF member country;
3. between a contributing country and a non-ESF member country in Europe;
4. between a contributing country and any country not covered by 1-3. If agencies from countries with ESF Observer status are not contributing to a given programme, their scientists should be classed as non-ESF. Decisions on eligibility will be taken by the ESF Head of Unit.
Individual conference participation is not normally supported.
