Travel Grants for Collaborative Research Projects
The SPECT Programme will support a small number of visits between different European countries to develop or continue collaborative research projects which are directly relevant to the aims of the Programme. Priority will be given to visits involving institutes in the countries financially supporting the SPECT Programme (Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and Israel).
Visits should be for a minimum of one week and normally up to one month.
According to the standard ESF support rates, for visits of up to two weeks, a per diem of 85 EUR will be paid, plus actual travel expenses of up to 500 EUR. For visits of between 2 weeks and 1 month, a subsistence allowance of 400 EUR per week will be paid, plus actual travel expenses of up to 500 EUR.
Applications will be dealt with on a rolling basis and should be submitted not less than two weeks before the planned visit.
Applicants should first contact their proposed host for a letter (or e-mail) of acceptance.
