Marie Curie Cofund call for proposals launched: encouraging researchers mobility

18 November 2009. The European Commission's Directorate-General for Research is calling for proposals under the Marie Curie Cofund ('Co-funding of regional, national and international programmes') scheme.

The Cofund scheme offers additional funding to existing or new regional and national fellowship programmes for research training and career development in order to encourage researcher' movement across borders.

Applicants should be public or private bodies that are responsible for funding and managing fellowships or research training programmes. These can be ministries, research academies or agencies, international organisations or other bodies with a public mission.

All fields of research and research training, except research areas covered by the EURATOM Treaty, are eligible, provided that there is an element of cross-border mobility.

To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://cordis.europa.eu/fp7/calls/

Deadline for submitting proposals 18 February 2010.

Before contacting the Commission, proposers are strongly advised to consult the original call text.
