§2 PhD candidates must have obtained their master's degree (**) in one of the member states of the European Economic Area (EEA) (***) or Switzerland. In all other cases, candidates must have held an appointment of at least 50% at one of the institutes referred to in Art.1. §1 for a period of at least one year, immediately preceding the start of the grant.
For postdoctoral level candidates Art 1. §2 does not apply.
To be eligible for a grant for participation in a workshop or course abroad, researchers must have at least one peer-reviewed publication (included in Web of Science or the VABB-SHW lists).
All PhD and postdoctoral FWO Fellows and holders of a Doctoral (PhD) grant strategic basic research (SB) cannot apply for a travel grant for participation in a workshop or course in one of the member states of the EEA or Switzerland, since they already receive a bench fee that can be used for these purposes.
They are, however, eligible to apply for a grant for participation in a workshop or course outside Europe.
Grants for participation in a workshop or course abroad are intended to offer researchers, affiliated to an institute as referred to in Art.1. §1, the opportunity to specialise in research or new techniques at a foreign scientific knowledge or research centre, by attending a course or workshop. The additional value of the stay abroad must be clearly demonstrated in the application.
If the researcher intends to give a lecture or make a contribution to the workshop or course, the application must be substantiated by a summary of the lecture/contribution.
These grants can only be allocated for stays of up to 1 month (31 days). They are personal and cannot be transferred.
The grant covers the round-trip travel costs from Brussels to the place of the workshop or course abroad. For participation in a workshop or course abroad lasting more than seven days, the grant includes, in addition to the travel costs, a fixed compensation for the accommodation costs in the amount of € 66/day, with a maximum of €1.650. The fixed compensation for the accommodation costs is paid into the beneficiary's account in Belgium. These allowances are personal and cannot be transferred or used to cover travel or accommodation costs incurred by parties other than the applicant.
Beneficiaries must send a concise report on their stay to the FWO within three months of their return to Belgium.
