To foster collaboration between the members of different European EV Societies and Networks, we launch the third call of MOVE fellowships that will enable GEIVEX members Early Career Researchers (the applicants)(technicians, PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral researchers (≤ five years, excluding career breaks)) to travel to another lab in Europe (the hosts) to develop both their technical skills and enlarge their own professional networks.
As a prerequisite, the applicant has to be member of GEIVEX and the head of the hosting lab a current member of the National EV Society or Network of the host country. ESRs from other countries willing to do a stay in a Spanish group will have to apply to the paralell MOVE calls in each country (see contact info for each society below).
GEIVEX will award two Fellowships in this round for ESR from Spanish groups to go abroad. GEIVEX applications will close on November 30th 2023. The Fellowship will cover travel and subsistence (but not bench fees) to a maximum value of 2000€, to work in a host lab at an academic institution in a different European country for a time period between one and three months.
