NEOLAiA Visiting Researchers Programme
CONTEXT & OBJECTIVE
For the NVR campaign 2025, LE STUDIUM offers partnering awards in a host laboratory at the University of Tours with mutual obligations between the research fellow in residence, the host laboratory and LE STUDIUM. Beyond supporting the international mobility of researchers, the programme aims to strengthen the scientific links between the laboratories of the University of Tours and laboratories based in partner universities of the NEOLAiA alliance.
This programme targets experienced international researchers who have to embody, through their profile, the key words that capture the research values of LE STUDIUM: Curiosity, Imagination and Intuition. These values help to create a dynamic outwards-looking international scientific community that recognises the benefits of international, multi- or interdisciplinary and interserctoral research approaches. The awards’ package creates conditions that catalyse the development of scientific and human interactions between the laboratories of the different partner universities to strengthen research & development as well as educational schemes pursued in the NEOLAiA Programme.
BRIEF PRESENTATION OF THE PROGRAMME
This call for applications does not target specific research themes. The programme is open to experienced international researchers, working in a university of the NEOLAiA consortium, in all disciplines (except research directly linked to military applications) wishing to join a research laboratory at the University of Tours [1].
