Training activities supported by INNOCHEM are dedicated to young scientists within and outside INNOCHEM partner laboratories, and aim to foster collaboration among INNOCHEM partners. Three types of research promotion opportunities are available:

A. Technology transfer

B. Collaborative programme

C. IN & OUT collaborative programme

A. The "Technology transfer" grant supports travel and accommodation expenses for acquiring special skills by short visits of laboratories with the relevant expertise, preferably within INNOCHEM.
Note: Requests for short visits of laboratories outside INNOCHEM or overseas are also possible. Before being accepted they will need to obtain the approval from the INNOCHEM EU officer.

B. The "Collaborative programme" short-term fellowships supports travel and accommodation expenses for young scientists coming from and direct to an INNOCHEM partner laboratory to spend a maximum of 6 months for carrying out a collaborative project.

C. "IN & Out collaborative programme" short-term fellowships supports travel and accommodation expenses for young scientists applying from a non INNOCHEM lab to spend a maximum of 6 months in an INNOCHEM partner laboratory for carrying out a collaborative project. Applications from Eastern Europe countries of the EU are encouraged.

Proposals should be submitted by e-mail using the appropriate forms (rates for each country are listed in "Guidelines for expenses reimbursement") to: Dr. Bernhard Moser - Cardiff University - Cardiff, UK (moserb@cardiff.ac.uk)

Each proposal will be evaluated by the INNOCHEM Training committee within a month from submission.
Note: In case of competing applications, those laboratories that have not yet participated in the training programme will be privileged.

The "visit report" signed by the responsible person in the guest laboratory, as well as by the visiting scientist should be sent at the end of the period to: Dr. Danilo Petroni – Istituto Clinico Humanitas, Via Manzoni 56 – 20089 Rozzano (MI), Italy - Phone: +39-02-822422414 (danilo.petroni@humanitas.it)
