Chile – Sweden Research Cooperation
The aim of Chile-Sweden Research Cooperation is to strengthen Swedish research and higher education by developing and establishing international partnerships. The programme supports projects of high scientific quality which are clearly contributing to the activities of participating institutions.
Projects may last for up to three years. The proposed project must encompass at least one Swedish and at least one Chilean party. The programme is jointly managed and funded by STINT and The National Commission for Science and Technology Research (CONICYT). Applicants on the Swedish side should have obtained their PhD as well as be employed and active at a Swedish university. Applicants may have on-going projects in the Initiation Grants programme, but otherwise there must not be any on-going STINT projects.
The ideal partnership project will have activities encompassing research as well as higher education, although also pure research partnerships are accepted. It is of particular importance for young researchers and doctoral students to participate in the exchanges. In this programme, STINT and CONICYT want to encourage new collaborative patterns and will not prioritise long-standing partnerships. The partnership must be balanced, i.e. the benefits and the personnel exchange should not be primarily in one direction.
Applications will be assessed by experts, focusing on how the proposed international partnership fulfils the following three criteria:
1) contribution to the institutions’ internationalisation,
2) scientific quality and novelty and
3) planning and support.
Please note that only scientific results from the last five years are taken into consideration for the assessment.
Applications in English are submitted electronically to STINT.
The final result depends on a joint STINT-CONICYT decision.
The call closes at 17:00 CEST,
on 27 September 2018.
(the application form will be available in the beginning/middle of August)
