Cel Crossing the river Rubicon marked for Julius Caesar the beginning of a long line of victories that resulted in the Roman empire. The Rubicon programme offers young researchers the opportunity to an equally successful academic career. Rubicon is an existing mobility programme of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The present budget is 5,3M euro on a yearly basis. NWO receives 4M euro per year from the Min. of Education and Culture and adds about 1,3M euro from the general budget. Precursory to Rubicon NWO had the Talent programme which was financed in a similar way. NWO receives about 300 applications per year for Rubicon of which approximately 30% received granting. The aim of the Rubicon programme is to encourage talented researchers at Dutch universities and institutes to continue in research after gaining their PhDs. It offers them the opportunity to enhance their career prospects by spending from 6 months up to 2 years gaining relevant knowledge, skills and experience outside the Netherlands. Rubicon also offers researchers the option of using the grant to conduct research in the Netherlands for a fixed period of 12 months. The mobility of the researcher plays an important role in the selection process, as international research experience is likely to be an advantage at a later stage in the applicant’s academic career and in applying for subsequent NWO grants. The Rubicon programme is open to all scientific disciplines and all nationalities. Any researcher within the first year after having received the PhD is allowed to apply for a Rubicon grant. With EU Marie Curie Co-funding the Rubicon programme will expand its number of fellowships coming to the Netherlands from 12 to 20 per year and improve the social conditions of the outgoing fellows of the Rubicon programme by organising employment for the fellows at the host institutes. NWO wishes to start using Co-Fund for a period of 48 months from April 2010 until April 2014.
