style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-weight: bold;">As the EU
Seventh Framework Programme for Research and Development 2007-2013
(FP7) comes to a close in the coming months, there are calls for
proposals under the Marie Curie Programme for Research Fellowships
which should be of particular interest for Strathclyde. For the
Intra-European Fellowships (IEFs) and the Incoming International
Fellowships (IIFs), a larger financial allocation than in previous
calls will be made, with an increase of around 10% in budget from the
previous round. Some €134m will be allocated to IEFs and €44.5m to
IIFs. The budget for Career Integration Grants will remain constant.
A few details of these schemes follow.</span></font></b><font

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="black" face="Calibri" size="2"><span
style="font-size: 11pt; color: black; font-weight: bold;">IEFs. Under
the Intra-European Fellowships, researchers with a PhD or four years
full-time equivalent research experience can come from another EU
country or country associated to FP7 to spend 12 -24 months at
Strathclyde as host University. They should not have been resident or
carrying out their main work activity in the UK for more than 12 months
of the 3 years prior to application deadline. Salary of Researcher,
research costs and contribution to overheads are paid on a 100% basis
by the European Commission. <span
style="background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">The
call opens on 14 March 2013 and closes on 14 August 2013.</span></span></font></b><font

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><font color="black" face="Calibri" size="2"><span

the International Incoming Fellowships, the same terms broadly apply,
except that the researchers come from countries outside of the EU that
are not formally associated to FP7. The emphasis is more on what we
gain in knowledge from the incoming researcher than in the IEFs. <span
style="background: yellow none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;">The

Outgoing Fellowships offer the opportunity, under similar conditions,
for Strathclyde researchers to spend a period of 12-24 months in a high
level organisation in a country outside of the EU or associated FP7
states in a manner that will benefit their research careers. <span

dates also remain for Career Integration Grants. Under these, flat
rate annual contributions for up to 4 years are available to help
researchers who are early in their careers to establish themselves –
as such they are well suited to newly appointed such researchers. The
final calls close on 7 March 2013 and 18 October 2013.</span></font></b><font
