Within the scope of its Enlargement Contribution, Switzerland supports a research partnership programme with Poland of CHF 19 million. On 16th December 2009, many of you already seized the opportunity to get to know more about this programme at an information event organized in Fribourg.

The corresponding Call for proposals was launched on 1st April. Interested Swiss research institutions have now and until 30th July 2010 the opportunity to submit project proposals in the following five thematic areas, together with Polish institutions:

• information and communications technology
• renewable energies
• nanotechnologies
• health
• environment
  

60% of the available funds will be allocated to projects between CHF 300’000 – 1 million, whereas 40% of funds will be used for projects between CHF 1 – 2 million. First projects are expected to be implemented starting in spring 2011.

All additional information concerning the open Call for proposals as well as the Call documentation is available on:

At this occasion, we would like to draw your attention to possible synergies with the scholarship programme sciex-NMS (www.sciex.ch <file://www.sciex.ch> ), which was launched in Poland in autumn 2009 and which offers young scientists the opportunity to realize scientific exchanges of up to two years. The next Call for proposals for sciex-NMS in Poland is to be launched in early September 2010.

FP7-IRSES 2010: Boost your institution’s cooperation overseas!

By: Frédérique Zehnder

FP7-PEOPLE: Call IRSES 2010, International Research Staff Exchange Scheme, is published!

What is IRSES?

IRSES is a Marie Curie Action that offers research institutions a financial contribution for staff exchanges:

• At least two laboratories or universities based in at least two different countries in Europe (EU-27 Members States and Associated countries such as Switzerland) can team up with a research institution located in a non-EU-country (see list* below) in order to carry out a joint research project.
• The European Commission finances a monthly lump-sum of € 1’900/person. New for the Call IRSES 2010: Partners located in emerging countries can also ask for this contribution if duly justified.
• During the staff exchange, employees are “seconded”, i.e. they remain employed by their institution of origin. The duration of the individual secondment is max. 12 months.
• Staff to be exchanged can be researchers, technicians and managers. The financial support provided for an IRSES project can last from min. 24 to 48 months.

The Call IRSES 2010 is open on November 25, with a deadline for submission on March 25, 2010. The overall budget is €30 mio.

You find decisive information about IRSES in the Guide for Applicants 2010.
