What does the fellowship offer?
Opportunities to work on personal research projects by moving between countries and possibly sectors to acquire new skills. The mobility can be within or outside the EU, or to attract foreign researchers to work in the EU. The grant covers two years’ salary, a mobility allowance, research costs, and overhead for the host institution.
Who can apply?
Individual researchers together with the host organization. The requirement is that the researcher holds a doctoral degree with no more than 8 years of experience after the completion of the PhD (deducing time not dedicated for research, e.g., teaching duties, parental leave). If you are a citizen or long-term resident in an EU or associated country, then time spent outside Europe can also be deducted, but it has to be well documented. For external researchers, you can only have worked or lived in Sweden less than a year the last three years.
The seminar is open to applicants who fulfill the eligibility criteria above. If you are not currently associated with MIUN you must identify a potential MIUN supervisor willing to support the application.
