GREAT ESF SUPPORT

ESF GRANTS: G4: Training Schools


Calls for training schools are now CLOSED: these pages are left for information purposes only

The selection of a training school(s) to take place in 2014/15 will be coordinated and agreed by the GREAT Steering Committee. The training school topic(s) will be selected to complement or supplement science areas being addressed in the supported GREAT conference and workshops 2010-2014.

Members of the community are invited to contact their local Steering Committee member with specific suggestions for training school topics and/or potential venues. Note that the typical budget support for such a training school is in the range €15K to €20K. If many proposals or suggestions are received further details may be sought from each of the proposers.

The next decision on any training school for 2014/15 will be taken at the January 2014 GREAT ESF Steering Committee meeting.

We anticipate that ideas for potential training schools will have been generated as one of the outputs from the
GREAT workshops, conferences or exchange visits.
