Modellers and researchers will share experiences on IAM models, coding and development practices, data analysis, and policy-relevant analyses and research focusing on climate change mitigation, impacts, and adaptation. During the visiting period researchers will have the opportunity to interact with people from different cultural and educational backgrounds.
Target participants
Early and mid-carrier researchers from within or outside the NAVIGATE’s consortium with a keen interest in integrated assessment modelling methods and data analysis, focusing on climate change mitigation, impacts, and adaptation. Moreover, over-arching issues including sustainable development, the implementation of the Paris Agreement, and transformative change can be potential topics for these exchanges.
Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) coordinates this educational activity and can provide a channel between the researchers and the host institutions in order to facilitate the exchange programme. However, we encourage the candidates to establish prior connections with the preferred institution (partner of NAVIGATE project) in order to find a contact person at the host institution who will give his/her availability to receive the candidate and to discuss with him/her the plan of activities to be implemented during the exchange.
Exchange Programme regulations
NAVIGATE project permits to set up exchanges for 5-7 early and mid-carrier researchers from within or outside the consortium during the duration of the project.
Each exchange must cover a minimum period of 2 months and a maximum period of 4 months at one of the NAVIGATE consortium institutions.
Priority will be given to exchanges between non-European and European institutions.
How to apply
Applicants are kindly requested to fill in the application form and to attach the following documents (please combine all documents in one single pdf file):
- Curriculum Vitae
- Endorsement of the affiliated institution (recommendation letter from the contact person of his/her affiliated institution to be addressed to the Coordination Board (CB))
- Confirmation of the host institution that it is able to receive the applicant
- Plan of the research activities (200-500 words) specifying their relevance for the objectives of the NAVIGATE project.
Please send the application via email to Laura Pellizzola (laura.pellizzola@eiee.org).
Costs
NAVIGATE project provides mobility grants for the exchanges implemented during the project. The value of the mobility grant is €1.000 for travel, plus € 1.500 per month for living expenses – public transport, per diem rates and accommodation during the exchange programme. The grant is on top of the seconded researcher’s salary provided by her/his institution.
Application deadlines
Evaluation of the applications will be conducted on a rolling basis until 31/01/2023.
