Can scientists based in countries which are not ESF members be funded to participate in a Programmes activities?
Normally, such persons are expected to be ‘self-financed’, priority for Programme funds being the support of scientists from contributing countries. However, the Steering Committee, in agreement with the ESF, may decide, on the basis of individual merit and where there is added value, that scientists from other countries can be funded to participate in the Programme’s activities. Requests are only considered once a Programme has been launched. Concerning proposals with a global dimension, i.e. proposals that intend to interface the proposed network of European investigators with a network(s) of scientists in other, non-ESF, countries (e.g. Australia, USA, etc.) financing is expected to be kept separate. ESF funds will not be used to support the non-ESF network or the participation of its members in the ESF-funded Programme and vice-versa.
