Many researchers currently working around the world would consider getting a stable position in a European research institution. The new Career Integration Grant scheme helps them to achieve this.The Career Integration Grant is a flat rate contribution towards your research costs. These may, for example, contribute to the salary costs of the researcher or other staff employed for the project, travel costs, consumables, patent costs and/or publication costs. The grant will cover a period of 2 to 4 years and must be used within this period. If the grant application is successful, the European Commission will establish a grant agreement with their host organisation in Europe.
CIG proposals are welcomed from all areas of scientific and technological research, excluding research areas covered by the EURATOM Treaty.
CIG proposals are selected in an open competition. Selection occurs through a transparent, independent peer review, based on excellence, using a series of pre-determined criteria.
