The European research funding organisations, under the umbrella of the
European Heads of Research Councils (EUROHORCS), have issued a second
call for proposals for the European Young Investigator (EURYI) Award.
The German Research Foundation (DFG) is responsible for the programme
administration in Germany. The aim of the EURYI Award is to effectively
enable and encourage outstanding young researchers from all over the
world to work in one of the participating European countries in the
programme for a five-year period. This is intended to support the
career
development of the next generation of leading researchers and, at the
same time, to increase the attractiveness of the European Research Area
on an international level.
This programme of excellence, which is committed to the idea of early
scientific independence, is based upon the "Memorandum of
Understanding", currently signed by 18 scientific organisations from 15
European countries.
Proposals for the 2006 EURYI Award programme may be submitted to the
DFG
from 1 September through 30 November 2006.
