Indo-Finish Joint Call Nanomaterials Research

/ April 13, 2011 Leave a Comment

The successful projects will be funded in India by DST and in Finland by the Academy of Finland. The joint projects must meet the criteria of the funding agencies. The research projects are funded for a maximum of three years. The funding period starts by January 2012.
Application procedure
The Indian and Finnish co-applicants will develop one joint research plan that will be sent to both the DST and Academy of Finland using the forms of each organisation, respectively. The applications must include a statement on how the proposed collaboration brings added valued for both countries.
The project budget must clearly delineate justified Indian and Finnish costs. The costs of the Indian partner must be eligible as per the guidelines of the DST. Accordingly, the costs of the Finish partner must be eligible as per the guidelines of the Academy of Finland. Applicants are reminded to include sufficient budget for travel between India and Finland to ensure successful collaboration.
When drawing up their budget, applicants shall take into account that the Finnish partner pays the travel expenses of the visiting Indian researcher in Finland as well as his/her accommodation, and per diem allowances. Correspondingly, the Indian partner pays the travel expenses in India of the Finnish researcher as well as his/her accommodation and per diem allowances. As the joint research projects are funded in bilateral mode the researcher mobility between the two countries should be balanced.

Scholarship Application Deadline:31st May 2011

PhD Studentship in Materials Research, Nottingham Trent University, UK

/ April 6, 2011 Leave a Comment

The School of Architecture, Design and the Built Environment at Nottingham Trent University has an ambitious development strategy which allows us to offer an exciting opportunity for a PhD Studentship. The studentships will pay UK/EU fees and provide a maintenance stipend linked to the RCUK rate (£13,590 per annum for 2011/12) for up to three years. Applications are invited from those looking to pursue doctoral study in the subject area of materials research. The research area should aim to implement the scientific knowledge of innovative materials for high-performance applications and/or demonstrate the strategic use of resources utilising new materials and techniques for existing products and processes. Research areas could include a design application related to healthcare, energy, textiles, communication, displays/ lighting, plastics, packaging, sensors/sensing materials or nanotechnology.
The University has recently established a Materials Research Group. This is a new and ambitious innovation that aims to bring together researchers who share an interest in materials from across the University. The group also extends as a research hub connecting with higher education institutions, funding bodies and private enterprise world wide. It also allows individual members to communicate and engage with colleagues and external partners including innovation networks and knowledge transfer networks. The materials research group will also subscribe to a system to distribute research funding calls.
