The European Commission has published a call for proposals for the Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES), under the People Specific Programme.

The IRSES scheme aims to strengthen research partnerships through staff exchanges and networking activities between European research organisations and organisations from countries with which the Community has a specific agreement.

This action will provide support to research organisations to establish or reinforce long-term research cooperation through a co-ordinated joint programme of exchange of researchers for short periods.

A partnership in this action shall be composed of at least two independent participants established in at least two different EU member states or associated countries, and one or more organisations either located in countries with which the EU has an agreement or is in the process of negotiations, or in countries covered by the European Neighbourhood Policy.

Financial support will be provided for a period of 24 to 48 months for joint programmes aiming at transnational mobility of researchers, technical and management staff. For organisations in member states and associated countries, the mobility must be towards the third country partners, and vice-versa.

The duration of exchanges for each researcher or technical and management staff will be for a maximum of 12 months. The deadline for submitting proposal is March 27.
