Information on the Travel Grants
The

Please note that this call is for researchers residing in Finland only, and only
for this particular event. Interested researchers should send a short description
(no more than one page) detailing their interest in the event and how it
relates to your work. Clear interest in applying for a H2020 SC5 call together
with partners from Africa, Asia and/or Latin America and the Caribbean call in
question should be shown. Please note that applicants with a focus purely in
European cooperation do not qualify for the grant. A CV or link to your profile
should also be included.
The maximum individual grant is 800€ and can be used
to cover travel, accommodation, and daily allowances. Applicants from outside
the metropolitan Helsinki area can receive max. 100€ in addition to the grant to
cover their travel expenses within Finland. The deadline for applications is August 5th, 2016. All
Africa-related applications should be sent by email to Eva Kagiri, eva.m.kagiri[at]jyu.fi,
Asia-related applications to Jarkko Mutanen, Jarkko.mutanen[at]uef.fi and
LAC-related applications to Kajsa Ekroos, kajsa.ekroos[at]helsinki.fi.
For any questions about the grants, please contact the Project Coordinators
well in advance, as replying may take longer than usual during the holiday
season.
