Dear Colleague Letter: Research Collaboration Opportunity in Europe for NSF Awardees

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

March 26, 2020

Dear Colleague:

To further scientific and technological cooperation between the United
States and the European Community, the National Science Foundation and the
European Research Council signed an Implementing Arrangement on October 29,
2019 to enable U.S.-based scientists and engineers with active NSF awards,
particularly those early on in their careers, to pursue research
collaboration with European colleagues supported through EU-funded European
Research Council (ERC) grants.

Connecting researchers with complementary strengths and shared interests
promotes scientific progress in solving some of the world's most vexing
problems. This international research opportunity is mutually beneficial to
the U.S. participants and their hosts through cooperative activities during
research visits and establishing international research partnerships to
enrich future research activities in the U.S. and Europe.

Under the Arrangement, the ERC Executive Agency (ERCEA) identifies
ERC-funded research groups who wish to host NSF grantees for research
visits of up to one year within their ERC funding.

This letter invites current NSF grantees to submit supplemental funding
requests for research visits to any identified, appropriate ERC-funded
European research group. NSF particularly encourages requests from NSF
grantees who are early on in their careers or who are still actively
building their careers. Further, the letter gives instructions on how to
submit supplemental funding requests and other relevant policies and
requirements.
