EFFS invites proposals for a project for Early Career Freshwater Researchers - "FreshProject".
The call has been developed as a joint effort of the EFFS board, the EFFS-Federated Societies, and the European Fresh and Young Researchers (EFYR). It has the primary goals of:
a) encouraging early career freshwater researchers (ECRs) across Europe to create synergistic interactions that lead to new knowledge,
b) promoting networking among early career European Limnologists and,
c) offering experience in generating research ideas, acquiring funding, planning and carrying out a collaborative international scientific project.
Proposals submitted to the present call should specify original research on any aspect of the ecology of inland waters. We are seeking to support research relying on the original and well-designed use of inexpensive and simple methodology and will favour multidisciplinary interactions among ECRs from European countries. Thus, the evaluation will consider not only the scientific quality of the proposal but especially the chances for promoting collaboration among European ECRs, both by integrating them in the initial proposal as well as by offering opportunities for further integration for the project development. This is an equal opportunity call, which is open to all early career members of the limnological societies constituting EFFS.
Submission deadline: 10th April 2022
Who can apply: researchers at Masters, PhD, or early Post-Doc level (PhD completion later than December 31st, 2019) can submit proposals and participate in the selected project. The proposers need to be members of the limnological societies within EFFS at the time when the call closes (10th April 2022).
Duration of the project: the project should be completed within two years after signing the grant agreement.
