Intra-European Fellowships (IEF)

7^th Research Framework Programme
People Programme

What are Intra-European Fellowships for career development?

This action aims at supporting experienced researchers at various stages of their career, helping them in acquiring new research skills (multi or interdisciplinary) or to undertake intersectoral experiences.

Who can apply?

Researchers from Member States or Associated Countries in possession of a doctoral degree, or having at least 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience after obtaining the degree allowing them to embark on a doctorate.

Which research topics are supported?

Proposals from all areas of scientific and technological research of interest to the European Union are welcome.

How does it work?

Proposals are submitted in liaison with the organisation that will host the individual researcher concerned and evaluated by external independent experts against a series of predetermined criteria. Financial support will be provided to the best proposals for a period of 12 to 24 months (full-time equivalent).

What does the funding cover?

Funding is provided for advanced training (including complementary skills) and transnational mobility, on the basis of a “personal career development plan” established by the researcher with her/his personal supervisor in the host organisation. It includes in particular a salary for the researcher and a contribution towards research-related costs.

The Call for proposals for this action will be launched on March 14^th, 2013.

Deadline for submission of applications: August 14th, 2013, 17:00 Brussels local time (16:00, Lisbon time).
