Fellowships are aimed at experienced (min. post-doc) researchers throughout their research career, and provide a generous contribution toward travel, salary, research costs and overheads.

FRENZ3: A Researchers Guide to FP7

Target audience: researchers with little or no knowledge of FP7 who want to understand the basic opportunities, and develop strategies for engagement.
Event overview: The aim of this training course is to equip researchers with sufficient knowledge of FP7 to allow them to develop their own approach FP7 engagement. Starting with an introduction to FP7, researchers will begin to understand how the programme works, and how they might become involved. This course will help researchers to find a path through the FP7 documentation, and will also consider the various approaches to identifying partners.
