Deadline- 16th August 2012
Top-class researchers from Third Countries are welcome to work on projects in Europe. This helps to develop research cooperation between Europe and other parts of the world – to everybody’s benefit.
All areas of scientific and technological research that are of interest to the EU may be eligible for IIF funding. But there is one exception: research areas covered by the EURATOM Treaty cannot be funded.
Who can apply?
Researchers of any nationality active or recently active in Third Countries are eligible for an IIF. That means countries that are neither EU Member States nor Associated Countries. To apply, applicant must have either a doctoral degree or at least 4 years’ full-time equivalent research experience, after obtaining a degree permitting applicant to embark on a doctorate. But that is the minimum. The more experience applicant have, the better will be applicant’s chances of being accepted for this action.
Application for an IIF should be made in liaison with the organisation or institution that would be willing to host applicant in Europe. Host organisations can be universities, research centres or companies.
