Research stays for university
academics and scientists
This offers scholarships for advanced research placements at the
biotechnology centre in Penzberg, Germany. Funding includes a monthly
allowance of €2,250, a supplementary family allowance, travel costs,
insurance and a German language course. Scholarships have a duration of
12 months, with a possible extension of a further 12 months.
These support young scientists aiming to start and lead an independent
research group. The programme offers generous start up packages, state of
the art laboratories and engineering support. There are several positions
available.
This enables user groups and researchers to access research facilities
within remote sensing of the vertical aerosol distribution, measurements of
the in-situ chemical, physical and optical properties of aerosols,
measurements of atmospheric trace gases and clouds and aerosol qualitycontrolled observations. The support to users include administrative and
logistical support, free use of the infrastructure, technical and scientific
support and specific training.
These are given to internationally renowned academics in recognition of their
outstanding accomplishments in research to date and their exceptional
promise for the future. Up to 25 awards are available, worth Euro45,000
each. Award winners are also invited to conduct a six to 12 months research
project of their own choosing in Germany in close collaboration with a
specialist colleague.
These enable university academics and scientists to carry out a research
project at a university or state recognised higher education institution in
Germany. Grants are worth Euro2,000 per month for assistant professors
and lecturers and Euro2,150 per month for professors for a duration of one
to three months.
This option allows scientists to obtain beamtime quickly, without going
through the peer-review procedure
These help researchers undertake the preliminary work required to apply for
a follow-on grant. Grants are usually between £7,000 and £10,000 at 100 per
cent full economic costing but may be worth up to £20,000.

Highlight notice
A future call, planned for mid-late September, will encourage Engineering,
Information and Communication Technologies, Physical and Mathematical
Sciences researchers to develop disruptive technologies for use in hearing
aid devices.
The aim of these networks is to create new interdisciplinary research
communities and topics by developing interaction between the research
community and appropriate science, technology and industrial groups.
Funding for a maximum of three years is provided to cover the operating and
support costs of a network.
This aims to provide researchers with an opportunity to spend time in a new
and different research or user environment. Funding may cover 80 per cent
of the cost of the PI salary, travel and subsistence, some technical effort or
the costs of an academic in the host location. Projects should be between
three and 12 months in duration, although part-time awards may be awarded
for up to 24 months.
This allows researchers from one information and communications
technology discipline to spend a short time in a different institute or two
researchers to spend time in each other's institutions. The award is worth up
to £5,000 for visits or exchanges lasting no longer than one month.

This programme assists rail projects in moving through technology
readiness levels four to seven, and progressing from a successful analytical
or experimental proof-of-concept phase through to implementation.
FutureRailway usually invests up to 50 per cent of the total project value.
Two stage applications are requested. Key areas:
•Performance
•Safety
•Environment
•Cost-effectiveness
http://www.futurerailway.org/competitions/comps •Customer experience
Not specified
Applications should be made in respect of innovations which have
/Pages/default.aspx
successfully reached proof of concept stage and wish to demonstrate them
in an operational railway environment.
Innovations can come from any sector but must have an application to heavy
rail environments and should have a clear fit to the Rail Technical Strategy.
The team and its funding criteria are currently being established. However,
to inform these developments and start to build a pipeline, we are seeking
initial information on projects that have reached a stage, or are likely to
reach a stage within about eighteen months, where they could usefully call
upon such funding.
