Virtual Mobility Grant opportunities
The Virtual Mobility (VM) Grant is a new kind of funding opportunity offered by CHERN. Adjusting to the intensification of online cooperations, COST has enabled us to define a Virtual Networking Strategy and VM Grants are an important part of that plan. We are currently offering up to 6 VM Grants, each a maximum of €1500 depending on the scope and complexity of the proposal, focused on two activities: - Joint publication - we invite CHERN members, especially early career researchers, from Participating Full Members/COST Cooperating Members, preferably (but not only) based in an NNC, to apply for funding to work together online on a joint publication. Papers can be in any phase - from the idea stage to completing drafts for submission. Preference will be given to topics focusing on communicating China research, but other topics within the scope of CHERN are also welcome. Under this activity, we can give VM Grants to 3-4 beneficiaries.
- Building a CHERN expert database - we invite CHERN members to help us create a better position for our members to connect with relevant stakeholders and to expand CHERN's visibility in local and global media outlets. Specifically, this VM should focus on mapping the expertise of all our CHERN members and developing a strategy to promote our members to relevant media outlets and stakeholders. The VM can focus on the entire process of creating a database or on individual tasks building towards that goal. Under this activity, we can give VM Grants to 2-3 beneficiaries.
For each of the two activities CHERN members can either develop a call for partners or submit an application (for the joint publication, a joint application of a minimum of 2 researchers is required). The deadline for applications is August 30.
