The University of Roma Tor Vergata is a member of YERUN.

Are you a researcher from a YERUN institution willing to collaborate with another researcher from another YERUN university? Then, this opportunity is for you!

The YERUN Research Mobility Awards (YRMAs) are competitive awards for early career researchers (PhD students and post-docs) equivalent to Euraxess Research Profiles R1 (up to the point of PhD) and R2 (PhD holders, post-doc or equivalent who are not yet fully independent or until 8 years since completion of PhD) from YERUN Universities. 

This year, the programme will support researchers to establish a new research collaboration in a virtual format. The programme provides a platform to:

  • work with other YERUN academics on a research project, publication, or new collaborative activity;
  • promote multidisciplinary research across the YERUN network;
  • enrich the research and training opportunities for PhD students, early career and postdoctoral scholars within the YERUN network.

A YERUN Research Mobility Award provides a flat-rate award to cover your expenses related to establishing a virtual collaboration (1,000 Euros) (please note that this amount may be subject to tax withholding). Examples of activities whose cost can be covered by the grant are: 

  • Publication in an Open Access journal;
  • Organisation of a virtual conference;
  • Participation fees in a virtual conference;
  • Purchase of a digital tool/ software that can support the virtual collaboration;
  • Consumables equipment;
  • Shipping of samples and other lab material;
  • any other idea you might have!

The research collaboration has to be established and implemented during the year 2021. You will not have to provide any receipts and it is your responsibility to arrange the activities related to your collaboration.
