COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH PROGRAMS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Americas
- Pan-American Advanced Studies Institutes Program (PASI)
The "Pan American Advanced Study Institutes" (PASI) Program, is a jointly supported initiative between the Department of Energy (DOE) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). Pan American Advanced Studies Institutes are short courses of two to four weeks duration, involving lectures, demonstrations, research seminars and discussion at the advanced graduate and post-doctoral level. PASIs aim to disseminate advanced scientific and engineering knowledge and stimulate training and cooperation among researchers of the Americas in the mathematical, physical, and biological sciences, and in engineering fields. Whenever feasible, an interdisciplinary approach is recommended.
Deadline: January 15 of each year
- Inter-American Materials Collaboration
Deadline: Early fall every two years. Next competition will be in Fall 2004.
- International Materials Institutes (IMI) - Enhancing International Collaborations in Materials Research
The aim of this program is to establish International Materials Institutes that will enhance international collaboration between U.S. researchers and educators and their counterparts in specific regions of the world such as Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, or the Pacific region. These institutes will advance fundamental materials research by coordinating international projects involving condensed matter and materials physics; solid state and materials chemistry; and the design, synthesis, characterization, and processing of materials to meet global and regional needs.
Deadline: December 1, 2003
- International Research Fellowship Program (IRFP)
The objective of the International Research Fellowship Program is to introduce scientists and engineers in the early stages of their careers to opportunities abroad, thereby furthering NSF's goal of establishing productive, mutually-beneficial relationships between U.S. and foreign science and engineering communities.
Deadline: October 1 annually
- International Opportunities for Scientists and Engineers (INT)
The Division of International Programs (INT) contributes to NSF's mission by promoting new partnerships between U.S. investigators and their colleagues in other countries, or new cooperative projects between established collaborators. Such activities may be in any field of science and engineering research and education supported by NSF.
Deadline: May 1 for México
European Union (EU)
France
- Programmes d'actions intégrées (PAI)
Projet de recherche, établi conjointement par deux équipes de recherche, l'une française, l'autre étrangère, bénéficiant après évaluation du soutien financier des deux pays. Les PAI s'adressent aux laboratoires de recherche publics ou privés (universités, centres et instituts, grandes écoles).
Translation: Research projects jointly established by two research groups (one from France and the other from a different country) that after review will benefit from the financial support offered by the two countries. Integrated Action Programs (IAP) are intended to public or private labs (universities, research centers and institutes, schools of engineering).
(in French)
Germany
- GERMAN SCHOLARS ORGANIZATION (GSO)
The German Scholars Organization (GSO) is a nonprofit organization for German Scholars of all disciplines working outside of Germany. The objective of the GSO is to provide a platform for contacts among the scholars, to disseminate information concerning relevant developments in Germany, to enable targeted access to the scholars for companies and research organizations interested in offering positions to them, and vice versa, for scholars to those institution.
Independent States of the Former Soviet Union
Japan
- Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS)
The Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), or Gakushin for short, is a quasi-governmental organization, established by a national law for the purpose of contributing to the advancement of science. Since its establishment, JSPS has made continuous effort to develop and implement a far-reaching array of domestic and international scientific programs.
Korea
Singapore
South Africa
- South African National Research Foundation
Opportunities for research collaborations between South Africa and various countries, including the USA, European countries and India. Deadlines for proposal submissions depend on the partner country.
POSTDOCTORAL AND STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES
European Union (EU)
- Marie Curie Fellowships
Training, mobility and career development opportunities covered under the EU's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6) for R&D. These opportunities are open to researchers of all ages and levels of experience regardless of nationality.
France
- For American students
If you are currently working towards your PhD, or if you have completed it in the last three years, you may qualify for a fellowship from the French Government to conduct research in France. Some of the fellowships are co-sponsored by French companies. Applications must be sent by December 31st.
- Studying in France
Useful information to help you organize the administrative, financial and language aspects of your trip to France. A catalogue listing 32,000 courses and 8,000 institutions.
- Cultural, scientific and technical cooperation with France
Scholarships for foreign students and interns to train in France and for French students and researchers to train abroad, invitations of foreign personalities to France for official visits, seminars and conferences.
Japan
- National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS)
Japan
NIMS will launch a five-year project entitled "International Center for Young Scientists (ICYS)" in August 2003, under which excellent and highly motivated young scientists from all over the world will be appointed as independent fellows to carry out basic research in materials science under a new and unique research system. ICYS is looking for about 30 young and excellent post-doctor fellows.
