The KAUTE Foundation is requesting applications for its Researchers Abroad Grant Programme to support researchers in the early stages of their academic careers to gain international research experience at universities and research institutes abroad.
The Researchers Abroad Programme provides grants for research in technology and economics abroad. The purpose of the program is to support ambitious technology or economics researchers to conduct research at a high-level foreign university or research institute. Applicants must have at least a master’s degree, but the grant may also be suitable for an early postdoc. Researchers working in companies can also apply for a grant.
Funding Information
- The grant is primarily intended for a continuous research visit of 6 to 12 months at a foreign university or research institution. Individual grants can be up to EUR 50,000 and a total of EUR 450,000 will be awarded in this call.
Eligibility Criteria
- The applicant must be:
- a Finnish citizen or have a permanent residence in Finland
- a doctoral researcher, a post-doctoral researcher in the early stages of their career or a researcher working in a company
- a researcher in technical or business sciences (grants are not awarded for research in medicine, biotechnology or architecture).
Application Requirements
- Annexes 1-4 (Project Description, Research Plan, Short CV and Diploma) are mandatory. In addition, the applicant must request the recommendation electronically through the application system.
- CV should not be more than three pages long.
- The invitation letter is highly recommendable, but not mandatory, in the application phase. If funding is granted to the applicant, payment will not be made until the funder has received confirmation from the receiving institution.
