Opportunities for researchers supported by the South African National Research Foundation to visit an ERC team
17 March at 10:00-11:00 CET (11:00-12:00 South Africa time)
The European Research Council and the South African Department of Science and Technology (DST) signed in December 1996 an agreement to encourage, develop and facilitate access to research opportunities between the DST and the ERC.
This initiative gives the possibility to researchers supported by the South African National Research Foundation (NRF) Research Career Advancement Fellowships and the Postdoctoral Research Fellowships the opportunity to temporarily join ERC research teams based in Europe, facilitating cooperation in similar areas of research or on topics of mutual interest. This arrangement is part of the ERC’s global outreach strategy that aims to make Europe a hub for research talent.
This webinar will explain how to apply and what is involved (per diem subsistence costs, salaries, travel, health insurance and living expenses). Visiting researchers are welcomed into ERC research teams for the duration of their visit – which may be a short few months stays or maximum a full year. A visiting researcher from South Africa will provide a testimonial of their time with an ERC funded team in Europe.
