ECIU recognises the importance of developing a culture of transnational and multidisciplinary collaboration among its researchers at different member institutions all together. Being aimed at stimulating and facilitating its researchers for cross member institutions scientific collaboration, the ECIU Researcher Mobility Fund (RMF) is launched to promote researcher exchanges and scientific visits. A researcher, incl. PhD candidate for research at any member institution of the ECIU may apply a grant for travels and associated costs to visit other member institutions to establish and extend collaboration for research. Mobility taking place in this framework in 2025 and 2026 will be mainly focused on visits aiming at facilitating exchanges of research ideas that will potentially lead to the submission of joint applications to EU, national or international funding schemes.
Any researcher and Ph.D. candidate for research at TUHH are welcome to apply.
Applicant may apply for up to €5,000. Each member institution of ECIU makes €20,000 per year in 2025 and 2026 for the ECIU Researcher Mobility Fund dedicated to the researchers of the member institution.
In case an ECIU institution has available funds and does not have own candidates, this institution can decide to use the funds to host incoming researchers from other ECIU Institutions, provided that the visits are aiming at promoting future joint applications to any funding scheme.
RMF is in general open to all disciplines with preferences given to applications addressing the common research fields of ECIU network.
Participants are encouraged to explore different types of exchanges, based on their needs, including but not limited to following examples:
The RMF in general is used for outgoing travels and associated subsistence costs to visit member or associate member institutions of the ECIU. The applicant remains an employee of TUHH, which is responsible for awarding grants to applicants from the same institution and paying the usual salaries according to its own financing rules and regulations.
We encourage applicants to stay for a minimum of 5 days. A shorter stay can be negotiated on individual basis.
The applicant must make sure that he or she has sufficient insurance coverage at all necessary levels while traveling abroad.
Contact Krista Schölzig or Nicole Frei [could you link mail adresses here?] and they will provide you will all imformation.
Criteria used to assess and select applications in principle include, but not limited to following aspects whether
Participants need to provide a report after their stay indicating potential calls they have scouted together with the hosting researcher for potential follow-up projects.
