Description

The Exploratory Workshop scheme is designed to bring researchers together in order to exchange ideas, establish new links and develop collaborative actions, with the main aim of opening up new directions in research or of exploring emerging research fields with potential impact on new developments in science. Each award allows between 15 – 30 researchers from across Europe to meet for 2-3 days, covering costs up to a maximum of €15,000. More information on the Exploratory Workshop scheme can be found at http://www.esf.org/workshops. Here you will also find the 2011 Call for Proposals which outlines the scheme’s various criteria
