Short Scientific Visits
NO DEADLINE
They cover the cost of short visits (of about one week) of researchers working in the area of the Qit programme, in order to exchange knowledge, research results and to foster joint publications. Applications for Short Scientific Visits are possible any time and should at least involve one contributing country. The grant will cover the costs for travel (one trip on the basis of APEX fares or 2nd class train), accommodation (on a bed and breakfast basis) and meals.
Applications should include:
- Applicant’s title, name, postal address, telephone/fax numbers, email address;
- Name and address of prospective host, telephone/fax numbers, email address;
- Date and duration of the proposed visit;
- A description (maximum 2 pages) of the planned visit.
Payment will be made upon receipt of a short scientific report of the visit (1/2 page).
Applications should be submitted (by email) to:
Dr. Martin B. Plenio (Chairman)
Short-term Fellowships
are for young researchers to acquire knowledge and experience. Priorities will be given to pre- or post-doctoral researchers. Short-term fellowships would facilitate the transfer of knowledge and techniques relevant to research from one laboratory within Europe to another (one contributing country should be involved). The fellowships are for a period of approximately three weeks.
Criteria for Eligibility
- The fellowships are intended to initiate or strengthen links between different research groups based in European countries. Applications are open to all scientists working in Europe.
- Fellowships will be awarded under the condition that at least one contributing country is involved.Applications should include:
- Applicant’s title, name, postal address, telephone/fax numbers, email address;
- Name and address of prospective host, telephone/fax numbers, email address;
- Date and duration of the proposed stay;
- Short CV of applicant;
- A letter of support from the prospective host (may be sent separately);
- A description (maximum 2 pages) of the planned research project clearly indicating the scientific goal(s) and the relevance to the programme activities;
Weekly allowances will vary from EUR 260 to EUR 350 + a maximum contribution of EUR 460 towards travel (travel will be refunded on the basis of APEX type airfares or 2nd class train travel for shorter distances).
Grantees will be requested to provide a written report at the end of their fellowship. Travel costs and allowances will be paid after the termination of the fellowship.
Applications should be submitted (by email) to:
Dr. Martin B. Plenio (Chairman)
Call for Proposals
This programme supports both, theoretical and experimental work in the area of quantum information science.
Within this framework applications are now invited for a special set of grants reserved for experimental physicists to enhance pan-European collaboration between EXPERIMENTAL groups working in quantum information processing. Initially 5 grants will be offered, each up to a value of 5000 EUR, to cover expenses for one longer term or a series of shorter term collaborative visits.
Applications are open to all EXPERIMENTAL PHYSICISTS working in European universities with the constraint that either the home institution of the visiting researcher or the host institution has to be from one of the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, United Kingdom.
There is no deadline for applications, but the first decisions will be taken on the 1 November.
Applications should be directed in electronic form to Martin Plenio Email
and must contain the following information:
1) Name, full address, status of both visitor and host.
2) 1 page description of purpose of collaboration includingscientific case and organization of visit (eg one long term visit or several short term stays). This should be agreed with the host and be supported by an email from the host.
Applications are welcome in postscript, Word or pdf format.
