Proposals by: 9 February 2007 (date of post mark)
The Austrian Science and Research Liaison Offices Ljubljana/Slovenia and Sofia/Bulgaria (ASOs) announce a Call for proposals for projects in Research Cooperation and Networking between institutions in Austria, the ASO countries Slovenia and Bulgaria and South Eastern Europe (Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania and Serbia, including Kosovo).
The call wants to intensify the short-term cooperation in the scientific field of „Information Science and Society in SEE countries“ with the aim to support the development of long-term scientific collaboration. Funding is provided by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Culture (bm:bwk) in the framework of its South Eastern European science cooperation initiative.
The project activities must be implemented after signing the contract and before May 2008. The funding available is 118.000 Euro and it is envisaged to support around 10 projects following this call. The allowable funding per project depends on the content, duration and number of teams involved. For projects with higher than average financial costs, cofinancing is expected.
The funded activities shall enable scientists from Austria, Slovenia, Bulgaria and other South Eastern European countries to work together on mutually beneficial projects. The main goal is to promote networking, the exchange of research results and know-ho, comparative studies and know-how exchange on European standards and preactices in the specified areas. The activities should build on already existing scientific results.
Eligible participants are universities, non-university research institutions and tertiary education organisations. The consortium composition must include one partner from Austria, one partner either from Slovenia or Bulgaria and at least one partner from Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, FYR of Macedonia, Romania, Serbia (including Kosovo) and Montenegro.
