[Ana Isabel B. B. Paraguay]

The Brazilian National Council of State Funding Agencies – CONFAP and the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq) invite researchers from Brazil to pursue research collaborations with Principal Investigators already supported through EU-funded European Research Council (ERC) grants.

With this call, Brazilian researchers in a wide range of scientific fields have the possibility to carry out research visits and temporarily join ERC teams in Europe. Research visits shall start in the second semester of 2019 and can be either performed on a more extended timeframe (i.e. lasting 6 to 12 months) or be divided in multiple and shorter visits, i.e. to perform joint experimentation or similar research activities.

Eligible researchers from Brazil will continue to receive their salaries and/or scholarship according to their institutional terms and conditions.

The Brazilian State Funding Agencies participating in the present call or CNPq will provide support for travel expenses.

Agência: European Research Council (ERC).

Prazo de inscrição: quarta-feira, 29 de Maio de 2019.
