The cfaed INSPIRE Grants aim at supporting a lively scientific exchange by facilitating research stays in collaborating institutions abroad. This program is designed for PhDs, Postdocs, and RGLs who may benefit from their research stay both by gaining and/or fostering international research experience but also by getting inspirations for new research approaches and topics. Furthermore, not only the awardee but also cfaed as a cluster itself can benefit by enhancing our visibility throughout the international science community. All applications will be evaluated by the Executive Board, who will assign grants based on quality, duration and place of stay.

Be inspired! Apply now for your INSPIRE grant 2020! More information
