MOBILITIES HANDBOOK
Mobility-based training program for Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs)
This mobility program is part of the SOLARIZE project, which aims to strengthen global collaboration by the use of research infrastructures for specific work themes.
These training events leverage the mobility of early-stage researchers among SOLARIZE Consortium members for one-on-one research mentoring over approximately one month. Students will carry the knowledge and experiences gained with them after graduation, while this mobility will enhance scientific excellence, collaboration, and synergies among SOLARIZE’s partners.
Objectives of Mobility
Some objectives of this mobility program are outlined below:
01
Facilitating knowledge and experience exchange between
institutions.
02
Collaborating on specific research projects.
03
Developing new skills and competencies in an international
environment.
04
Building professional and academic networks.
05
Exploring opportunities for joint research.
06
Conducting field research or data collection.
07
Participating in conferences, workshops, or academic events.
08
Training in laboratory techniques or specific tools.
09
Engaging in scientific outreach or community extension activities.
10
Developing funding proposals for future projects.
11
Promoting and disseminating research results.
12
Laying the groundwork for future long-term collaborations.
Important information
Target audience
This program is designed for early-stage researchers from SOLARIZE Consortium institutions.
Early-stage researchers (PhD students) are those who are, at the time of selection by the host institution, in the first four years (full-time equivalent) of their research careers and have not yet been awarded a doctoral degree. This is measured from the date when they obtained the MSc degree which formally entitles them to embark on a doctorate (as a PhD student).
In addition, researchers who are within five years from the date of obtaining their PhD will also be considered under this program.
Duration
Stays should have a minimum duration of 2 weeks and an estimated maximum duration of 6 weeks and must be completed by November 1st, 2027.
The researchers will agree with the host institution on the duration and dates of the mobility.
Eligibility criteria and other considerations
Specific eligibility criteria (if applicable) will be determined by the host entity after the participant has completed the registration form.
The host entity will contact participants to confirm their eligibility and provide any additional required information.
Upon completion of the mobility program, participants must submit a summary report outlining:
o Research progress made during the stay.
o Skills and knowledge acquired.
o Any challenges encountered and how they were addressed.
