EU Initial Training Network

Can we apply for a network grant when the next call for proposals is made?

According to Kurt the grant will be able to cover the following expenses

  • almost the whole salary cost for PhD students - a couple of 1000 SEK per month extra is needed to cover the normal PhD student salary cost
    • I checked the Marie Curie document and it seems like that phd students can be funded up 36 months and postdocs up to 2 years. What would this mean to us within Chalmers where a phd takes 3 years.
  • total extra expenses 1800 Euros per researcher month
  • management costs 7% (reference stated below says 10%, but the contract says 7%)
  • an overhead of 10% (calculated on all direct costs)

The people who are interested in joining are

  • Mike Birse (University of Manchester)
  • Evgeny Epelbaum (Ruhr University Bochum)
  • Hans-Werner Hammer (Bonn University)
  • Doron Gazit

What we need to figure out

  • What is relevant for the proposal?
  • What defines a good budget for this proposal?
  • Are there any participants from other countries that we can include? We should be able to find some spaniards to join.
