Deadline: 25 March 2014
Open to: PhD researchers of any nationality who intend to conduct their research activity in any EU Member State or Associated Country
Grant: € 1.5 million for a period of 5 years
Description
Europe currently offers insufficient opportunities for young investigators to develop independent careers and make the transition from working under a supervisor to being independent researchers in their own right. This structural problem leads to a dramatic waste of research talent in Europe. It also limits or delays the emergence of the next-generation of research leaders, who bring new ideas and energy, and it encourages highly talented researchers at an early stage of their career to seek advancement elsewhere.
