The European Science Foundation Research Networking Programmes aim to bring together nationally funded research activities to address a major scientific issue at the European level, with the aim of advancing the frontiers of science. The key objectives of the programmes include creating interdisciplinary fora, sharing knowledge and expertise, developing new techniques and training young scientists. To be successful, a programme proposal must show high scientific quality and demonstrate added value by being carried out at a European level rather than by individual research groups at the national level. For full details of the programme including eligibility criteria, and application procedures, please click on the link below. The deadline for receipt of applications is 23 October 2008.
