SHORT TERMS STAYS OF FOREIGN RESEARCHERS CALL FOR PROJECTS CLOSED

The CeMEB LabEx offers financial support for hosting foreign researchers in its research units for short stays (2 months). This funding scheme concerns researchers or professors, foreign, recognised for their scientific excellence in one of CeMEB’s areas of expertise. Applicants must have held their doctoral degree for over 10 years and not have resided or conducted their main activity (academic career, research program, etc.) in France for more than 12 months during the three years preceding the date of submission of the application. Proposed projects must clearly indicate the objective of the stay and its added value for Montpellier’s research teams (e.g., implementation and transfer to CeMEB of innovative concepts and methods, setting up a partnership project, joint response to a call for project). The hosted researcher will participate in the work of his.her host laboratory and must give at least one seminar for CeMEB.

Amounts allocated and funding modalities

This CFP will finance a total of 18 months of stay, spread over all the selection sessions planned for 2018 and 2019. Applications may be for stays from 2018 to 2020. CeMEB will cover a per diem of up to €2000 per month and transport costs up to €1500.

Please note:

  • CeMEB will organise transport for the visiting researcher.
  • The researcher’s per diem will be paid at the end of the visit upon presentation of supporting documents for expenses incurred for accommodation.
  • CeMEB is not responsible for obtaining the visa of the invited researcher.
