Visiting Research Fellowships for potential ERC applicants

The ERC has invited relevant national and regional authorities in Europe to fund potential ERC candidates from the country or the region to visit the teams of existing ERC Principal Investigators. The purpose is to offer these potential candidates an opportunity to broaden and strengthen their research profile and vision in an internationally competitive research environment before applying for an ERC grant. HRP-IAEA is willing to support potential ERC candidates.

Implementing Arrangements

The European Research Council (ERC) has been continuously monitoring international participation through its Strengthening International Participation working group. As a result, “Implementing Arrangements” have been signed with key funding bodies and science ministries around the world. These arrangements provide opportunities in Europe for early-career scientists supported by non-European funding agencies to temporarily join a research team run by an ERC grantee. The purpose of the arrangements is to encourage, develop and facilitate such opportunities. https://erc.europa.eu/managing-your-project/set-and-develop-your-team HRP-IAEA welcomes international researchers who want to join our program.
