Eligibility criteria
The research mobility scheme targeted both junior and senior researchers.
- OUT grants were intended for researchers from UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles working in EU Studies who wished to collaborate with foreign research centres and universities in domains related to the EUNMUTE project.
- IN grants were designed for foreign researchers interested in the EUNMUTE project and willing to visit the IES (UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles) to collaborate with the CoE academic staff in one of the research areas covered by EUNMUTE.
Grant
Depending on the length of the research stay, funding opportunities were available for up to €2,500.
Application procedure
Applicants were required to submit:
- a cover letter demonstrating the relevance of the research stay in the host university (IN or OUT) and how the proposed research related to EUNMUTE
- a curriculum vitae
Applications had to be submitted at least three months before the planned research stay to the following contacts:
denis.duez@uclouvain.be, sophie.jacquot@uclouvain.be, and therese.davio@uclouvain.be (in cc).
Researchers (IN and OUT) participating in the SSSG scheme were covered by a mobility agreement concluded between the sending and host universities.
Selection criteria
Candidates were selected based on the relevance of their research project in relation to the EUNMUTE research domains.
Applications from all universities were considered, with priority given to researchers affiliated with partner institutions:
- Aston Centre for Europe at Northumbria University (UK)
- CERIUM at Université de Montréal (Canada)
- Institut d’études européennes et globales at Université de Nantes (France)
- University of Brescia (Italy)
Outputs
At the end of their research stay, SSSG recipients were asked to submit either a 5–10 page research or policy paper and/or produce a short video on topics related to the EU’s un-muting power.
These contributions were published on the EUNMUTE website as part of its working paper series, and videos were shared via the EUNMUTE YouTube channel, to reach a broader audience.
