Scientist Exchange Program
The Microverse Cluster offers an International Scientist Exchange program to foster international research collaborations and knowledge exchange.
The program includes:
- Jena-based early-career scientists to conduct research stays abroad, exposing them to new research environments and methodologies
- Early-career researchers from abroad to visit the excellent scientific environment in Jena
- We are inviting proposals for exchange – incoming and outgoing - with scientists outside of Jena that have an innovative component and strengthen the core themes of the Cluster.
How to apply for the Scientist Exchange Program
Applications can be submitted until March 1st, and September 1st, of the current year.
Microverse members who would like to apply for funds can find more information in the member restricted Intranet. External researchers whose work complements that of the Cluster of Excellence “Balance of the Microverse” and would like to come to Jena are encouraged to contact Microverse group leaders with a short proposal.
Further questions can be addressed to contact@microverse-cluster.de. Please use the subject heading Scientist Exchange Funds.
