Receiving researchers and PhD students from outside France
Our hosting and mobility program allows every INED researcher to invite several foreign researchers and PhD students a year for a funded or non-funded stay of between 15 days and 3 months.
Moreover, French researchers long affiliated with a non-French research organization also have foreign researcher status.
These invitations serve two purposes:
- to support the scientific activities of our own researchers,
- to meet our institutional commitments in the area of international relations; that is, to support and follow up on framing accords between INED and foreign research and training institutions.
In hosting researchers from abroad, we support the development and realization of joint projects being done with foreign colleagues. These international stays are also a way of building on and promoting INED activities and the use of INED data, forging lasting ties between our institute and expert scientists and early-career researchers, faciltating the emergence of new research topics and subjects, and organizing training programs for foreign colleagues and students.
Two invitee selection campaigns ever year
In fall and spring, invited and inviting researchers fill out applications files that include the following documents
--an invitee information sheet in French or English,
--the invitee’s up-to-date CV,
--copy of passport and, for researchers and doctoral students in need of a visa, copy of most recently awarded degrees,
--for doctoral students: two letters of motivation/recommendation, one from applicant’s INED tutor, the other from the student’s PhD thesis supervisor at their home institution.
As specified, non-funded professional stays at INED are possible; applications are assessed as they come in.
Applications requesting funding are considered on a yearly basis only.
