First call for STELLAR incubator proposals

Fridolin Wild — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:10:56 +0000

STELLAR is launching an Incubator Programme, aimed at supporting promising early career researchers with mobility or ‘incubation scholarships’ to spend some months in another research institution or enterprise with the aim of either fostering the incubation of new ideas/projects, or exploiting new prototypes/services/approaches.

Funds for Incubator scholarships will be devoted to junior researchers’ mobility, thus to travel and subsistence. The Incubator eligibility period may vary from 3 weeks to 3 months (to be proposed by the applicant). Each applicant should also specify how s/he is planning to use the budget (maximum budget available for each Incubator scholarship: € 5.000).

The present Call will be closed on January 2010, 15th. Click here for more information.

First call for STELLAR ThemeTeam proposals

A STELLAR Theme Team is a network of mid-career researchers from different institutions, whose aim is to explore and analyze collaboratively emerging research topics in the field of TEL. A Theme Team may be a completely new network created around a specific topic of common interest, or composed of researchers who have already worked together on a certain issue (e.g. at a workshop or within a longer project).

The mission of a Theme Team is to share and integrate competences, methodologies and ideas already developed. The Teams are a means to integrate European research units in the field of TEL, but also competences coming from enterprises and institutions not included in the STELLAR network.

Within this first round of funding (the present Call), up to four Theme Teams will be funded (the expected budget of each proposed Theme Team being around € 20.000). The Theme Team eligibility period is 12 months.

Proposals should be submitted to CNR-ITD who has been appointed by the STELLAR Network to manage the overall Theme Teams process.
The deadline for the submission of Theme Team proposals is January 15th, 2010.
