COFUND-FP-CERN-2014 COFUNDing of the CERN Fellowship Programme 2014

Coordinator: ORGANISATION EUROPEENNE POUR LA RECHERCHE NUCLEAIRE (CH)

AbstractFor many years, CERN has operated a trans-national Fellowship programme, offering scientists and engineers challenging opportunities in particle physics research, and in related fields of physics and technology. CERN secured COFUND grants in 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012. They offer CERN a timely opportunity to enhance the mobility element of this programme without nationality limitations. The 2014 Call comes at the end of the Large Hadron Collider’s first long shutdown which once more makes CERN one of the most exciting places to work for the global physics and technology community.Appli…

About Horizon 2020 (2014–2020)

Horizon 2020 was the EU's flagship research and innovation programme for 2014–2020, with a budget of around €77 billion. It bundled FP7's strands with the EIT and the Competitiveness and Innovation Programme, introduced a stronger societal-challenge orientation, and pushed the funding logic toward closer-to-market innovation. New calls closed in 2020 but funded projects continued through 2024.

Co-funding: the European Union contributes €6.4M toward a total project budget of €12.7M — a funding rate of 50%, with the remainder covered by the consortium partners. The project runs over approximately 5 years from 2015-10-01 to 2020-09-30.
