Research Visits
The PiShift Programme was launched in January 2001 for a period of five years. The Programme offered support for research visits to stimulate co-operation between different research groups in different European countries through the exchange of individuals.
Duration
Two types of visit
- short research visits (for both senior and junior researchers) which are expected to be of up to 7 days duration, and
- research visits (priority will be given to younger researchers and PhD students) which are expected to be of up to 3 months.
Final Visit Report
It is a condition of support from the PiShift Programme that exchange visitors must agree to provide a 2 page report at the end of the visit. Publications arising from visits from this scheme should acknowledge the support from ESF PiShift Programme. Following publication, the citation reference should be sent to the ESF office as well as, where possible, a reprint. This will serve as input to the PiShift Programme Report.
Bench fees and salary costs are not paid under this scheme.
There are no age limits for this scheme.
