Please note that payment of full travel costs for longer visits is more likely. Review and Selection Procedures Calls for proposals are issued at regular six monthly intervals. Applications can, however, be made at any time, although there may be a slightly longer delay in the selection process outside of these call periods. Applications are reviewed by the Scientific User Selection Panel. Their criteria include the scientific value of the work proposed, the benefits to the visitor and the value of the collaboration to the host institution or researchers.
Visits can be for training or research purposes.
The Scientific User Selection Panel will normally meet two to three times a year. You will be informed of the Panel's recommendation immediately after the meeting, although the European Commission may take up to four weeks to confirm it.
