| |DEVELOPMENT, ACQUISITION OF SPECIFIC HANDS-ON TRAINING IN TECHNOLOGIES AVAILABLE IN THE RECEIVING LABORATORY AND |
| |INCREASING BILATERAL COOPERATION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AND SHOULD SHOW CLEAR EVIDENCE OF STRONG |
| |COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE TWO LABORATORIES. |
| | |
| |Applicants should focus on the impact for the fellow’s career, the benefit to the applicant’s home laboratory and|
| |the suitability of the receiving laboratory. |
|Subject Area |Applications are welcome in any area of the Life Sciences. |
|Eligibility |The call is open to nationals of ICGEB Member States and provides fellowships to scientists in the early stage of|
| |their career wishing to spend between 3 and 9 months at a research institution in an ICGEB Member State other |
| |than their own. |
| |SMART Fellowships are intended to promote collaboration among researchers in ICGEB Member Countries. |
| |Fellowships for mobility support to laboratories located in Italy, India or South Africa can be considered under |
| |exceptional circumstances and only if the research activity proposed is not covered by one of the ICGEB |
| |laboratories in Trieste, New Delhi or Cape Town. If this latter case applies please refer the ICGEB Arturo |
| |Falaschi Short-term fellowships programme. |
| |There is no age limit. However, preference is given to young scientists at the beginning of their research |
| |career. |
