Call for Research Proposals for Enlighten Your Research, the successful international program for researchers, now open until June 30, 2016!
The Eastern Partnership (EaP) is a regional and multilateral initiative between the EU and its six Eastern partners: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. The partnership aims to provide support and assistance for reforms in the region in the fields of democracy, human rights, market economy, sustainability and governance. In line with this EaPConnect is organizing the internationally renowned program called Enlighten Your Research. You can now submit a draft Research Proposal for EYR@EaP!
EYR@EaP
To help further promote the benefits of international-scale networking to researchers, EaP now collaborates withleading partners to create an exciting opportunity for the research communities.
The EYR@EaP organizing committee consists of a number of partners from the European NREN community.
This brand new edition of the Enlighten Your Research program invites researchers and their collaborators to submit proposals that highlight how access to advanced networks, technologies and compute would significantly improve their research and discovery process.
Is your research ready for an international challenge?
Join Enlighten Your Research and discover how our services can help you get the most out of your research! We invite researchers from any discipline to submit a proposal with challenging research questions. The program is open to all ranges of research teams – ranging from novice to expert in the use of information technology – to support their research projects to participate in the program.
What are the benefits?
The EYR@EaP partners provide and develop high-quality network services for all higher education and research institutions in their respective countries.
If your final proposal is selected for the EYR@EaP program, you (the main applicant) will get to go to the EaPConnect Annual Conference in Tbilisi, Georgia, October 6-7, 2016, for free. You will be able to present your research project at this Conference and you will be able to go to another conference of your choice organized in Europe.
Apart from the above, the selected final projects can also gain access to:
- Support and advice on end-to-end network connectivity and use of services.
- Commitment to an agreed level of (network) resource provisioning and support for 1 year.
Who are we looking for?
Researchers that want to collaborate! As NRENs we aim to foster international collaborations to accelerate the research and discovery process.
