  1. Funding opportunities for INPE-ifgi cooperation in Germany and Europe Christoph Brox INPE-ifgi Workshop

  2. Purpose • Apart from 6 joint publications and 6 joint PhD/Masters thesis topics, workshop goals are to come up with • 1 proposal for (big) joint research project • 3 proposals for mobility measures – personal contacts essential for INPE-ifgi cooperation • Showing you options • Not for details, but overview • Presentation as work document (follow links), see background information at Wiki • My support for all types of proposals at Ilhabela INPE-ifgi Workshop

  3. Overview Funding opportunities for • Projects • Institutional mobility measures • Individual mobility to Germany • Individual mobility to Brazil INPE-ifgi Workshop

  4. 1. Projects INPE-ifgi Workshop

  5. 1. DFG Research project („Research Grants“) • Big research project (max. 3 years), funding of staff, scientific instrumentation, consumables, travel, publication costs • Parallel submission in Brazil (DFG-Partners: CNPq, CAPES, FAPESP) • http://www.dfg.de/en/research_funding/individual_grants_programme/research_grants/index.html • No fixed deadline • Self-made proposal template (20 pages + annexes) • (t.b.d.: external partners, e.g., ITC, Rio?) INPE-ifgi Workshop

  6. 1. BMBF • http://www.bmbf.de/en/5316.php • In der Forschungsförderlandschaft gibt es neben den Bundesförderinstitutionen (CNPq, CAPES, FINEP, etc.) auch auf Ebene der Bundesländer Brasiliens bedeutende Förderinstitutionen, wie z.B. FAPESP in São Paulo und der FPERGS in Rio Grande do Sul. Mit allen genannten Institutionen bestehen bilaterale Kontakte zu Deutschland, wobei der Nationale Wissenschaftsrat Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq Hauptansprechpartner ist. • Zur Förderung der Initialphase von Kooperationsprojekten in Forschung und Entwicklung finden jährliche Ausschreibungen statt. Die Förderung erfolgt auf deutscher Seite durch das BMBF, auf  brasilianischer Seite durch CNPq und umfasst vor allem den Austausch von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern (Mobilitätsprojekte). • Currently no call – not known when the next call will be INPE-ifgi Workshop

  7. 1. EU – FP7 • Huge project with many partners • Too complicated for now • Maybe option to „jump on a running train“ INPE-ifgi Workshop

  8. 2. Institutional mobility measures INPE-ifgi Workshop

  9. 2. DAAD – PPP (-> PROBRAL) • Requirement: common research project • Only additional costs for cooperation are funded (travel), not staff costs • PhD students, post-docs, professors • For Brazil = PROBRAL, currently no open call • DAAD (BMBF) and CAPES (more info at CAPES website??) • http://www.daad.de/deutschland/foerderung/stipendiendatenbank/00462.en.html?detailid=10&fachrichtung=5&land=48&status=4&seite=1&daad=0 INPE-ifgi Workshop

  10. 2. UNIBRAL • DAAD and CAPES • Funding of students (3. year, Master students ok); • http://www.daad.de/ausland/foerderungsmoeglichkeiten/stipendiendatenbank/00658.de.html?detailid=218&fachrichtung=5&land=48&status=3&seite=1 • No call open (more information at CAPES website?) INPE-ifgi Workshop

  11. 2. Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window • Funding mobility measures on all levels (prof/post-doc/students/administrative staff) • Waiting for Call 2009 (deadline Call 2008 is on Mar 13, 2009) • http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/extcoop/call/index.htm • (not too optimistic: huge monster projects with (too) many partners) INPE-ifgi Workshop

  12. 2. FP7-PEOPLE (ex-Marie Curie)-International staff exchange scheme IRSES • Funding mobility measures on all levels (prof/post-doc/students/administrative staff) • deadline Mar 27, 2009 -> next year? • Primarily EU-> non-EU, non-EU -> EU for countries such as Brazil • Min. 2 EU and 1 non-EU partner (ifgi, INPE, ISEGI) • Funding up to 12 months, 1.800 € per month • 2-4 years, 500.000 € or more, at least 10-20 mobility measures INPE-ifgi Workshop

  13. 2. FP7-PEOPLE (ex-Marie Curie)-International staff exchange scheme IRSES • Problem: „secondment“: Research staff has to have and keep a position at home – the funding (1.800 € per month including travel costs) is an add-on. • For Brazilians: Apart from keeping the position (and payment) at home, 25% contribution to 1.800 €/months should be own contribution • EC expects also the conduction of events (e.g., summer school), which are not funded • -> feasible???
