Call for Tender in the "Helmholtz-Russia Joint Research Groups" Programme
On 29 February 2012, a new call for tender is launched in the "Helmholtz-Russia Joint Research Groups" Programme (HRJRG), which the Helmholtz Association maintains together with the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR) since 2007. In contrast to the four previous calls for tender, this year's programme will concentrate on the central topic of research with photons, neutrons and ions.
The call is addressed at all Helmholtz researchers wanting to advance research and development in the wider topical field of photons, neutrons and ions in cooperation with established Russian partners. The fields of application include, for instance, new materials, that is, nanomaterials, biomaterials and multifunctional materials, that are researched and developed also in the context of such different Helmholtz research fields as Energy, Health, Earth and Environment, Aeronautics, Space and Transport.
One of the programme's main objectives is the promotion of particularly qualified young scientists from both countries. The Helmholtz Association and RFBR joint grant provides funds for six German-Russian research groups totalling up to 160,000 Euro per year and group over the course of three years.
Applications can be accepted until the cut-off date 31 May 2012. The Helmholtz Association's Moscow office supports the scientists in the event of questions.
