EchoGRID Researcher Exchange Programme open to D3 unit projects
EchoGRID is pleased to announce the new EchoGRID Researcher Exchange Programme (REP).
The consortium has implemented a specific mobility programme which is aimed at encouraging researchers (staff) to visit, for a given period, research teams between Europe and China.

The exchange of researchers between the EchoGRID organisations is certainly one of the most effective ways to achieve long term cooperation. "Exchange of researcher" means the visit of a researcher or a staff from one EchoGRID partner to another, for a period ranging from two to ten weeks, between Europe and China.
After one year of activity, the consortium decided to open the EchoGrid Exchange Programme to the other projects funded by the European commission unit D3 of the Information Society and media Directorate-General.
The funding allocated to this activity is administered by ERCIM.
