Experienced Researchers
Unlocking Collaboration Opportunities in Europe
The ELSA Mobility Fund for Experienced Researchers opens doors to
collaboration opportunities in Europe. The goal of this program is
to bring together ELSA/ELLIS Fellows, Scholars, and Members by supporting their short- or long-term scientific visits to initiate collaboration
within and outside the ELSA/ELLIS community. The visits should involve an
ELSA/ELLIS Fellow/Scholar/Unit director on either the travelling or the
hosting side.
| Duration of the visit | Unlimited within September 1, 2022 - August 31, 2025 |
|---|---|
| Eligible applicants | European experienced researchers who are participating in an ELSA event, workshop or exchange. Before submission, please check whether your sending institution is located in the EU or an EU associated country (see list). |
| Eligible destinations | Destinations within or outside of the network as long as the visit is related to an ELSA use case. The host writes a short e-mail supporting the application. |
| Award (per visit) | 3,000€ |
| Max number of visits per person | There is no limit on the number of visits per person. The funding is distributed on a 'first come first served' basis until the travel funds run out. |
| Refundable costs | Travel costs; accommodation under specific conditions. Please note: As of 2022 air travel is being restricted due to climate concerns and needs to be justified. We strongly encourage train travel. All expenses need to be declared as actual costs, documented by original invoices, receipts and tickets (in the case of online bookings, the printout of the electronic reservation), and need to be in line with the Beneficiary's/Partner's usual practices. In case of researchers from outside of the ELSA Network, CISPA's travel practices stated in this document apply as well as the Horizon Europe rules. |
Step One:
To apply for a mobility grant, submit the application form to the
central administration (elsa-travel@cispa.de). Submission deadline:
Applications are possible year-round, but should be submitted no
later than 1 month before the starting date of the visit, as they need
to be reviewed and processed by the ELSA and university
administration.
Step Two:
Immediately after the visit (no later than 20 days after the last day of the visit), the researcher must complete the request for reimbursement(part 2) and send scans of the signed original of this document and of the original receipts to CISPA at elsa-travel@cispa.de.
We support workshops and events that bring people from across Europe
together to solve hard problems in an open atmosphere.
Please send an e-mail to elsa-coordination@cispa.de if you would like to
request travel support for your event.
