Project description
A new service to assist scientists in Armenia
The science community in Armenia is planning to create an effective and friendly environment for researchers based in and out of the country. The EU-funded Euraxess-AM project will create the Armenian EURAXESS Service Network and web-portal to provide a base for support services to Armenian and EU researchers. The service will facilitate better integration of the Armenian research community into the European academic environment. It will assist researchers that return to the country to easily re-integrate into the country’s scientific community. It will also assist foreign researchers in legal, administrative and health care matters, and will support academic institutions in recruiting the best researchers from abroad.
