A training activity relevant to EURATRANS.

(3) Time/Duration
Up to 30 days, completed prior to the end of the project runtime (30 September 2014).

(7) Application
A written application of maximum 2 pages (plus title page) with the description of (A) the research training activity, (B) the impact and relevance of the training for the fellow – to be completed together with the host institution - and (C) impact and relevance of the research training activity to EURATRANS.

(8) Review
The applications will be reviewed by the EURATRANS Training Panel Members.
The process should not take more than 4 weeks after the application deadline. Each section is marked 1 (poor) to 5 (excellent), average scores are used for the ranking. A short evaluation summary report from the reviewers will be sent to each applicant.

(9) Approval of involved Principal Investigators
The approval of involved PIs in form of a signed (formless) declaration will be requested AFTER a favourable review and before the fellowship is formally awarded. The PI from the home institution needs to allow up to one month absence, the PI from the host institution needs to confirm that he/she will provide working space and material, access to equipment/infrastructure and supervision.

(10) Budget
The maximum budget for all fellowships in this call is 10.000 EURO.

The fellowship needs to cover (a) economy return travel from the Fellow's laboratory to the host laboratory, (b) accommodation and (c) subsistence during the time of the stay. Accommodation and subsistence shall not exceed 2000 EURO multiplied by the country coefficient of the host institution as used by the FP7 People programme (see annex I). Costs will be refunded based on original receipts by either the home institution (if a project beneficiary), the host institution or the coordinator institution. The maximum EC contribution of this beneficiary will be increased accordingly (based on copies of the receipts/claim). Laboratory consumables and equipment will not be covered by the Fellowship.
