Scholarship
Award: 
The
fellows are appointed for 12 months either by a stipend (an
agreement for a research training programme) or a working contract. The
type of contract and the monthly allowance (for stipends) or salary (for
working contracts) depends on the hosting institute. It should be noted
that the stipend (Fellowship Agreement) does not constitute a
contract of employment. As such, no contributions are made, on behalf of the
fellow, in respect of unemployment insurance or either state or private
retirement schemes. The fellow will not, therefore, be entitled to any
unemployment or retirement benefits under the Fellowship Agreement. For
the entire period of 12 months, the fellow will receive a monthly allowance or
salary (depending on the type of contract) which may vary depending on the
country. Costs for travelling to and from the institutes will be paid under
conditions determined by the contract. This allowance/salary will be
transferred to the fellow’s personal bank account.
  • For
    stipends, the fellow is covered by a personal health insurance provided by
    Campus France the cost of which is paid by ERCIM-EEIG. The insurance
    covers medical transportation costs if needed, payment of a lump sum for
    invalidity or death, personal liability. Female fellows are informed that
    expenses related to pregnancy can be covered by this insurance under certain
    limited circumstances. The insurance does not cover the fellow’s family.
    The fellow will have to conform strictly to the modalities required by
    Campus France to obtain the benefit of this insurance.
  • Costs
    for travelling to and from the host institutions will be reimbursed on the
    basis of an economic class airplane ticket or first class train ticket.
    Travel by car will be reimbursed on the basis of a first class train
    ticket. No moving expenses are allocated. The limit is 500 euros per trip
    (2 trips can be planned).
  • Research
    Exchange Programme: Fellows have to spend at least a one-week visit
    to another ERCIM member institute. ERCIM-EEIG will cover reasonable
    expenses (including but not limited: travel, accommodation, meal) up to a
    maximum amount calculated on the basis of 100 euros per month over the
    fellowship period.
  • Participation
    in scientific conferences: The Fellow is encouraged to attend and to
    submit papers to scientific conferences during his or her fellowship.
    ERCIM-EEIG will cover registration costs and travelling expenses up to a
    maximum sum calculated at a rate of 100 euros per month under the
    condition that the fellow has an accepted paper at the conference.
