The ICN2 Internationalisation Committee has granted funds to five applicants who will spend a short period (between 7 weeks and 3 months) in an international research centre. Two internal competitive calls (Outbound Mobility and Visiting Scientist) have been reopened, with deadline November 5.
After reviewing the proposals submitted for the Severo Ochoa Outbound Mobility Programme, the ICN2 Internationalisation Committee has decided to grant funds to all five applicants. Pilar Bernícola will spend 2 months and a half in Paris (France), at the Laboratoire Interfaces et Systèmes Electrochimiques of the Sorbonne University; Ivana Cavaliere will work for three months with the Nanomedicines & Translational Drug Delivery Group of the Institute for Research & Innovation in Health (i3S), in Porto (Portugal); Saptam Ganguly will join the Noheda group (Nanostructures of functional oxides) at the University of Groningen (The Netherlands), where he will stay for three months; Michal Prokop will spend 7 weeks at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston (USA) in the Advanced Semiconductor Materials and Devices group-Tomás Palacios; finally, Kenedy Tabah, will carry out his research at the Optoelectronic Materials and Device Spectroscopy Group of the University of Cambridge (UK) for three months.
Interested in following in their footsteps?
