DAAD Funding: Meet your (EELISA) partners to develop new ideas for joint research projects
Are you a researcher at FAU interested in exchanging research ideas with colleagues from EELISA and other partner institutions, expanding your European network, and initiating new research collaborations? Would you like a research retreat of up to three days to discuss your latest research results and ideas for new projects with EELISA and other European partners?
Then, this Call is your opportunity to get your EELISA research retreat funded! EELISA at FAU launches the second Call for EELISA Research Retreats with a total budget of 16.500 € funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). The aim of this call is to facilitate new European research collaborations and the preparation of European research proposals under Horizon Europe and other European or international calls for researchers from all faculties at FAU.
Typically, an EELISA research retreat will be…
for three days
with researchers from other institutions and at least one EELISA partner institution
to meet on-site at FAU
to present your work, exchange ideas, and discuss new research projects.
Eligibility
The call is open to all researchers at FAU – no matter if early career researcher or full professor – who wish to invite researchers from at least one EELISA partner institution to a research retreat at FAU. Additionally, researchers from other institutions may be invited as well.
Funding
With this call, we aim to fund up to five EELISA research retreats with an average budget of 3.300 € per retreat (depending on the size of your EELISA research retreat, you may also apply for up to 6.000 € or less than 3.300 €).
The eligible costs will be reimbursed in the amount of the invoices to be submitted together with the “Abrechnungsformular für Bewirtungskosten” to the EELISA Team after the research retreat until 10 January 2025 at the latest.
How to apply
Applicants should send the completed application form in one PDF file via email to the EELISA Team at FAU until 10 September 2024.
Evaluation Criteria
For the evaluation of the proposals to be funded two evaluation criteria will be applied:
- The capacity of the workshop to boost connections among EELISA researchers and
- the potential of the workshop to trigger new research collaborations, including new research proposals under Horizon Europe and other European or international calls.
Finding researchers at EELISA partner institutions
EELISA is a large European university alliance with about 20,000 researchers in almost all disciplines. In addition to FAU, EELISA includes one of Europe’s leading universities (PSL in Paris), small elite institutions (ENPC in Paris and SNS and SSSA in Pisa), and technical universities (UPM in Madrid, ZHAW in Zurich, BME in Budapest, UNSTPB in Bucharest, and ITU in Istanbul). We recommend to check the websites of these institutions in search for partners for the EELISA research retreats who may be contacted directly. If you like search tools, you may register on the EELISA Community Platform as a researcher and then use the EELISA InnoCORE Networking Platform to find new partners for the EELISA research retreats. You may also use the EELISA Catalogue of Research Facilities to find potential collaborators.
