  Call for CIMPA-ICTP Fellowships 2027 "Research in Pairs"

The CIMPA-ICTP "Research in Pairs" fellowship program supports 
mathematicians from developing countries by funding their visits to 
Europe to collaborate with a colleague. The two researchers will work 
together on a well-defined research project, primarily at the European 
colleague’s institution. Priority will be given to applicants who remain 
scientifically active despite challenging circumstances, such as heavy 
teaching, supervision, or administrative responsibilities, and those who 
have had limited travel opportunities in the past five years.

*_Who can apply_*

- The candidate must a researcher who defended their PhD at least 3 
years ago and who has been employed in one or several academic 
institutions in a *developing country***[1] for the past 5 years at the 
time of the application;

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

- During their time in Europe, the selected candidate will 
record/broadcast a mathematics mini-course of approximately 8 hours, in 
French or English, targeting students in their master's or at the 
beginning of their PhD. The lectures will become a reference for all 
students who want to learn about the topic of the lectures. This will 
therefore be considered an important part of the application and we 
encourage candidates to prepare it with great care. The lectures will be 
recorded during their stay, generally at the end of their collaboration 
period.

- During the submission process, the *host colleague* will be asked to 
provide further details about the project and to *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. Without such letter the application will not be considered.

[1] If your country does not appear in this list and if you think that 
the specificities of your location or career should be taken into 
consideration, please explain your situation by writing to 
director at cimpa.info 
<https://www.ictp.it/opportunity/director@cimpa.info>. You will be 
informed if you can proceed further with your application.

*_

*_Entitlements_*

The amount of the support will be determined based on the location of 
the selected candidate and on the duration of their visit and can be *up 
to a maximum of 10,000* euros. It can only cover the candidate's 
personal costs, including transportation, accommodation, insurance, visa 
etc. during the entire visit.

The minimum duration for the stay is *5 weeks to collaborate with the 
host at their institute*. *An extra-week must be added to 
record/broadcast the 8 hours mini-course*.

*_
