Obiettivo
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 about 300 applications per year for Rubicon of which approximately 27% 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 12 to 24 months 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 period of 12 to 24 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 be able to fund 14 incoming fellowship years in the Netherlands per year and finance the social conditions of the outgoing fellows of the Rubicon programme by organising employment for the fellows at the host institutes. NWO wishes to implement the Co-Fund for the submission rounds in 2011 with the duration of projects within the 48 months from March 2011 until April 2015. In the Cofund round 2009 Rubicon was granted funding for the submission rounds to be held in 2010.
