Grants
THE CALL IS CLOSED
ESF grants are offered to enable scientists, both pre-doctoral and post-doctorals to cooperate in different European countries. HFM is supporting two types of grants:
1. Short Visit of up to 15 days
2. Exchange Grants from 15 days to six months
Please see the guidelines for grants (PDF 35 KB)
Eligibility:
1. Undertake work applicable to HFM
2. Apply to stay in a European country other than the country of origin
3. Return to the institute of origin upon termination, so that the applicant’s institution may also benefit from the broadened knowledge of the scientist
4. Acknowledge ESF in publications resulting from the grantee’s work in relation with the grant
Priority will be given to applications where the institutions involved are in countries that financially support the programme.
Level of award: Short visit grants are reimbursed on a per diem basis of 85 EUR plus actual travel expenses up to a maximum of 500 EUR after the visit on submission of a completed balance payment form accompanied by the original travel tickets. No payment will be made without the scientific report.
Exchange grants are reimbursed on the basis of an allowance of 1,600 EUR per month / 400 EUR per week / 57 EUR per day plus actual costs for travel, up to a maximum of 500 EUR.
Applications providing a short description of the proposed project work (about 1000 words for exchange grants and 250 words for short visit grants) and the duration of the stay should be submitted using the on-line forms (please see below).
Please note that exchange grants should be supported by a letter of recomendation from someone familiar with the applicant’s work (if appropriate), a letter of acceptance from the receiving institution and a curriculum vitae of two A4 pages.
