Visiting Scientist Program "Translational
Brainpower"
Translational Brainpower is an optional extension of the Translational-Research-Programme (TRP). In general the program goals and Guidelines for the TRP-Programme are valid.
The program expired in 2012.
|
| Goals |
The goal of Translational Brainpower is the close involvement of internationally recognized researchers from other countries in scientific projects at the interface between extended and "oriented" basic research and applied research in Austria. In this "brain gain", the potential of the foreign scientists should be utilized in funded projects, giving a considerable "added value" and thus contributing to the strengthening of the Austrian research and innovation system. |

in addition: the international partner must work for at least nine months (in the case of a three-year project) at the applicant's research institution in Austria, must enable Austrian project workers to undertake research stays at his/her research institution abroad and must participate in transfer activities in Austria, contributing to the transfer of knowledge to the application sector. Should the proposed project last for less than three years, the minimum length of time the international partner must spend at the institution is reduced accordingly. |
