Marie Curie research training networks - call for proposals
The European Commission has published a call for proposals for the Marie Curie Research Training Networks activity area under the Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). The networks provide the means for research teams of recognised international stature to link up, in the context of a well-defined collaborative research project, in order to formulate and implement a structured training programme for researchers in a particular field of research. Networks provide a cohesive, but flexible framework for the training and professional development of researchers, especially in the early stages of their research career. Networks also aim to achieve a critical mass of qualified researchers, especially in areas that are highly-specialised and/or fragmented; and to contribute to overcoming institutional and disciplinary boundaries, notably through the promotion of multidisciplinary research. They will also provide a straightforward and effective means to involve the less-favoured regions of the EU and Associated Candidate Countries in internationally recognised European research cooperation.To see the full details of the call, please consult the following web address: http://fp6.cordis.lu/fp6/call_details.cfm?CALL_ID=210(opens in new window)
