The ERA.Net RUS Plus Call 2017 – 'Science & Technology' invites researchers from Russia and Europe to submit their ideas for a joint research project in the fields of nanotechnology, health, environment/climate change, humanities/social sciences, or robotics.
The countries Belgium (Flanders), Bulgaria, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Switzerland and Turkey are involved in the preparation process via funding organisations.
Funding is provided for multilateral, Russian-European joint projects in order to establish a long-term research cooperation between the respective project partners. In Germany, universities, research institutions as well as small- and medium-sized companies are eligible for funding through the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. A call for proposals for Russian-European innovation projects will follow in summer 2017.
The new calls are based on the huge success of a similar support measure implemented in 2014/2015, which resulted in 18 funded 'Innovation' and 45 funded 'Science & Technology' projects.
Further details on the priorities, funding criteria and contact within the funding organizations are published on the website: http://www.eranet-rus.eu.
Deadline for submission: 4th of July 2017.
