“Mobility” call for proposals
The National Office for Research and Technology (NKTH) and the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA) publishes a call for proposals titled “MOBILITY” for the period between 2008 and 2010 to support the international mobility of researchers in order to promote research careers (call acronym: HUMAN-MB08).
The aims of the MOBILITY Call, co-financed by NKTH-OTKA and the 7th Framework Programme of the EU (Marie Curie actions), include promoting the scientific careers of experienced researchers with PhD degree or at least 4 years of full-time employment as researchers by supporting their mobility and gaining international experience, as well as promoting the Hungarian exploitation of experience acquired in third countries, by supporting researchers returning to Hungary.
Between 2008 and 2010, the call shall be published under three priorities — i.e. outgoing mobility, incoming mobility and reintegration — for researchers carrying out basic, industrial or applied research in the fields of technical, natural, life and social sciences. The priorities open for the call may change annually.
