International Mobility Research Fellowship Program 2023

The program aims to contribute to the development of collaborative research and the promotion of paleoscience networks in Latin America and the Caribbean. The fellowship supports Latin American and Caribbean early-career scientists pursuing international research experience in paleoscience.

Goals

• The goals and expected results of the program include:
  • Develop and promote collaborative research among Latin American and Caribbean researchers.
  • Develop international collaborations, such as bilateral research projects between their host and other institutions.
  • Publish the research results and present them at international conferences (where PAGES and IAI should be acknowledged).
  • Contribute to the promotion and development of local paleoscience communities.
  • Contribute to the development of or participate in existing scientific networks devoted to paleoscience.
  • Contribute to the principles of open science and open data.
  • Contribute to a greater understanding of the Earth´s past climate and environment to improve projections of future climate and environment, and to inform sustainability strategies.

Benefit

• Fellowship support: Up to USD 5,000.
