The support for additional training and the support for congress participation are awarded all year long, without a specific call.

Any activity or study that received EURIDOL funding must explicitly state this source of funding in its publication / communication (EURIDOL ANR contract no.: EURIDOL ANR-17-EURE-0022).

This support is open to future EURIDOL students starting the 1^st year of a Master's degree or the 1^st year of a Doctoral degree with EURIDOL.

Objective: Promote the enrolment of international students with high potential.

Budget: 500€ to 3000€ per person, to cover travel and/or settlement and/or registration costs.

Applications can be submitted from January each year to: euridol[at]unistra.fr

Applicants must use the Attractiveness Grant Application Dossier.

Applications are evaluated based on:

• Quality of the academic record
• Career plan

Master’s: The allocation of the attractiveness grant is subject to:

1. enrolment in one of the three Neuroscience Master tracks of the University of Strasbourg (NCI/NCO/JMN), AND

This support is open to all EURIDOL doctoral students who are in the final year of their thesis.

Objective: Support young researchers to prepare for their post-doctoral professional integration. The EURIDOL end-of-thesis support should be a bridge between the thesis and the postdoctoral project (“projet de soudure”).

Budget: between 500€ and 6000€ per person (amount calculated based on 500€/month).

Potential projects: Organisation of a scientific meeting, summer/winter school or thematic workshop; Participation in the EURIDOL training programme (teaching assistance, ...); etc.

Requests for funding can be submitted following the annual call for projects between April and June each year to: euridol[at]unistra.fr

The projects are evaluated based on the following criteria:

• the relevance of the application to the postdoctoral project.

Any communication and publication resulting from the supported work/activity must acknowledge the ANR (reference: ANR-17-EURE-0022) and EURIDOL.

Note: The EURIDOL end-of-thesis support needs to be awarded before the thesis defence.

In addition to the EURIDOL supports, EURIDOL doctoral students who are in an ITI NeuroStra research team also have access to ITI NeuroStra supports and prizes, such as: end-of-thesis support, blitz lectures contest, etc.

Some EURIDOL research teams are in other ITIs (ITI IMS, ITI MAKErS, ITI Transplantex NG); please check directly with your laboratory.
