The European Commission is calling for proposals for research training networks, through its programme to improve the human research potential and the socio-economic knowledge base.

The primary objective of research training networks is to promote training through research, especially of young researchers at pre-doctoral and post-doctoral level, within the framework of high quality trans-national collaborative research project, including those in emerging fields of research.

Community support will be awarded both to reinforce the research teams of a network through the temporary appointment of young researchers coming from a country other than that of the team concerned and to contribute towards the cost of coordinating the collaborative research project on which the network is based.

The action is open to all fields of scientific research that contribute to the Community's objectives in research technological development and demonstration, for projects chosen freely by the participants themselves.

This call opens access to some 230 million euro of funding for projects..
