Scheme Objectives
The ESF Research Conferences Scheme brings together
researchers from different nationalities, backgrounds
and disciplines, and at different career stages to
jointly discuss the latest developments in new and
emerging fields of research. ESF Research Conferences
promote free discussion and exchange of information,
and aim to create long-term networks between participants.
Participation is open to researchers from academia,
industry, society and politics worldwide.
Conference Format
The conferences usually last 4-5 days and take place at
predefined venues across Europe. Attendance is limited to
a maximum of 150 participants (including invited
speakers). Young and early-stage researchers are encouraged
to attend and to present a short talk or a poster; some of
them will receive financial support.
Funding Criteria and Assessment Process
Proposals must demonstrate a high relevance to the scientific
community in terms of novelty, originality and timeliness.
Proposals are evaluated through international peer review and
selected by review panels composed of members of the ESF Scientific
Committees and scientists nominated by the Partner Organisations.
The international peer review takes place between October and
December 2010. The review panel meetings take place in early 2011.
Decisions are communicated at the end of March 2011.
Terms of the Award
The selected proposals will be awarded a grant of EUR 30.000 to
40.000, to be used for the support of invited speakers and young
and early stage researchers(grantees). Successful proponents will
be responsible for the scientific programme and quality of the
conference as well as the allocation of grants. All
administrative and logistical aspects of the conference organisation
will be taken care of by the ESF Conferences Unit.
