Fellowships have duration of between 12 and 24 months. Fellowships take the form of a grant covering up to 100% of the budget. The application deadline is 14 August 2013.
Study Subject(s): IEF proposals are welcome from all areas of scientific and technological research. But there is one exception: research areas covered by the EURATOM Treaty cannot be funded.
