Call for Proposals - FP7-SCIENCE-IN-SOCIETY-2011-EVENTS (SiS.2011.2.2.3-2 European events) - Specific Programme "Capacities" Programme RTD FP7-SCIENCE-IN-SOCIETY-2011-EVENTS Closed!
Objectives
The aim is to stimulate interest in research careers in science and technology among students at university or in higher education institutes within EU Member States or Associated Countries, who are studying for a masters or doctoral degree or equivalent. The focus is on bringing them in direct contact with distinguished scientists, such as Nobel Prize laureates, so that they can gain useful insight and advice from those who are pursuing successful and rewarding careers.
Actions
Grant support will be offered to complement the costs of scientific gatherings that are already scheduled, and for which core funding has already been or will be secured from other sources, to help support the participation costs of selected students at such gatherings. The proposals should describe in detail the mechanisms through which the students will be able to meet and interact with distinguished scientists. Where such mechanisms are not already included in the programmes of the scientific gatherings the associated additional costs involved in organising them may be eligible for support.
The proposal should include plans to ensure that students from across Europe are made aware of the possibility to participate in such gatherings. The procedure for selecting candidates should be described and should respect the principles of transparency and fairness as well as ensuring a balanced participation in terms of country and gender. Consideration should also be given to the use of audiovisual and internet media as a means of broadcasting the meetings between the students and distinguished scientists to a wider public. In consequence, an appropriate communication strategy shall also be described, designed to ensure proper and full visibility to European Union Research policies and programmes and to the concrete opportunities offered to young researchers. It should include precise deliverables, to be implemented during the event, and in all communication activities and materials preceding and following the event.
