CIMPA-ICTP Fellowships 2022

[ICTP Math Section]

ICTP and the International Centre for Pure and Applied Mathematics 
(CIMPA) have opened a call for applications for the CIMPA-ICTP 
Fellowships 2022 "Research in Pairs".

The fellowships programme makes it possible for researchers in 
mathematics based in a developing country to come to Europe to 
collaborate with a colleague for a period of at least 6 weeks. During 
this period, it is expected that the researchers will work together on a 
well-substantiated research project, mainly at the institute of the 
European colleague.

The maximum amount of support is 10,000 euros. Alone or with other 
supports, this should cover all the costs (transportation, 
accommodation, insurance, PCR test, quarantine, etc.) of the laureate 
during the entire visit. The amount is determined based on the length, 
location and activities and travel costs of the laureate. It can only 
cover her or his personal costs.

_*Applications for a visit between March and the end of December 2022 
are open until 31 December 2021*_ and must be submitted through this 
online form. A PDF version of this form is available, containing the 
fields to be filled out as well as additional details on the terms and 
conditions:

_*The specific details of this call a*__*re:*_

- The candidate is a researcher holding a PhD in mathematics who is 
based in a developing country at the time of the application and which 
passport indicates a nationality from a developing country. By 
definition a developing country must be a country both in the IMU list 
and in the UNESCO list  (click on developing regions, please visit the 
webpage: 
https://www.ictp.it/about-ictp/media-centre/news/2021/10/cimpa-ictp-fellowships-call.aspx). 
If you are based in a country which is only in one of the two lists, 
please email us before applying;

- The European colleague is a researcher holding a PhD in mathematics 
who will be based, throughout the candidate’s entire stay, in one of the 
following countries: Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, 
Norway, Switzerland;

- During the stay, the laureate must include a visit to CIMPA on the 
campus of Université Côte d'Azur or to ICTP in Trieste in order to 
record/broadcast a mini-course (approximately 8 hours, in French or 
English) on mathematics at master/beginning of PhD level. Note that this 
is an important part of the application as the lectures will become an 
exemplary course for all students who want to learn about this topic. It 
needs therefore to be prepared with great care;

- The laureate and his/her colleague may propose to carry out part of 
their collaboration (one to two weeks) in one of the partner centres: 
CRM, CIRM, ICTP or MFO. In this case, the cost of the colleague’s stay 
(but not the travel) will be covered by CIMPA, ICTP or the partner 
centre in addition to the financial support already offered.

- In addition to his or her collaborative research project, the laureate 
may schedule visits to other laboratories or centres (not limited to the 
above countries but within Europe) to meet with other colleagues or 
attend courses or conferences. This "non-collaboration" time will 
represent no more than 1/4 of the total time of the visit.

Once the submission is completed by the candidate, an email will be sent 
to the host colleague asking her/him to provide further details and 
upload a supporting letter for this application. Note that the letter is 
of crucial importance to evaluate the commitment of the host and the 
success of the application.
