VINNOVA hereby invites research groups/Centres of Excellence in research and innovation to submit project financing proposals under the call, VINNMER – Marie Curie Chair in the VINNMER programme – researcher qualification for VINNMER Fellows (primarily female doctoral researchers).
The purpose of the call, VINNMER – Marie Curie Chair is to strengthen the qualification opportunities initially for incoming highly experienced international VINNMER Fellows (female doctoral researchers) with more than 10 years of research experience. The call is not addressed to researchers at the level of a full professor. This focus has been chosen by VINNOVA in order to impact the systemic weakness of a low proportion of qualifying women. The call relates to planning grant proposals as well as complete proposals.
The subject fields at which the call is aimed are all those fields of needs-driven research which fall within VINNOVA’s field of activity.
There is no specifically earmarked budget for this call; rather, decisions on planning grants and complete proposals within the programme are to be accommodated within the programme´s overall budget. The programme budget is more than SEK 600 million for the period 2007-2014.
Information about this call plus terms and conditions of participation appears in the call text.
