Guidelines and Procedures for Research Networking Programmes submitted before 1 August 2005 - Openness of participation and Eligibility

Openness of participation

ESF Research Networking Programmes are "open" activities. Principal participants within a Programme, e.g Steering Committee members, are expected to network with colleagues in other research groups to ensure that opportunities in a Programme’s activities are known and are open to all eligible participants. Programmes should not be "closed" by limiting their activities to the research groups of the principal participants.

Eligibility

Proposals may be submitted by researchers working within or having affiliations to institutions eligible for support by, or which are part of, agencies that are Member Organisations of ESF. Proposals may have co-proposers from non-ESF member countries. In this case, the co-proposers should assure their funding through their respective national agencies or through another funding body
