EXT grants are open to deserving researchers from any country in the world. Prospective team leaders apply together with their host organisations - universities, research centres, or firms carrying out R&D - to the Commission directly for funding. Host organisations must be established in an EU Member State, Associated State or Candidate Country. It is up to the team leader to assemble the team of researchers, who can be of any nationality and level of experience.
This will be the last call for this action under the Sixth Framework Programme
General information describing this action and the specific eligibility criteria in detail is available from the Marie Curie site on the Europa server and more specifically in the following documents:
Proposals for this action should be made jointly by a host institution (e.g. a university, a research centre, an enterprise active in R&D etc. ) and a researcher who will be the team holder.
In order to prepare a proposal you need to go to the relevant CORDIS call page and download the Guide for Proposers.
The vacancies for further members of the Excellence Team are advertised in international professional publications and via the CORDIS website.
Individual researchers interested in these positions should apply directly to the host organisation.
