CFAs: Mobility Grant for Researchers based in Finland

Objectives

• The Research Council of Finland’s mobility funding is based on bilateral agreements and supports their general science policy objectives. The mobility funding promotes the international interactions of Finnish researchers as well as the internationalisation of Finnish research environments and thereby strengthens the quality of Finnish research.
• JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships apply to Japan. The funding is based on a bilateral agreement between the Research Council of Finland and the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS).
• The funding is intended for the researcher’s own mobility costs (necessary travel and living expenses) for research in Japan.

Funding Information

• The funding comes in the form of a personal grant. The JSPS is responsible for the funding and the funding terms and conditions. The JSPS may provide funding to one person for a period of 12–24 months. In addition, the Research Council of Finland may provide funding for the applicant’s family’s travel expenses (up to €10,000), if the conditions are met. The funding period for the family’s travel expenses (period during which funding can be used) may exceed 24 months. More information on the grant is available under ‘Funding to be applied for and funding period’ in the call text.
