As part of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the EU, the Joint Research Center (JRC) is offering ten young Belgian researchers the opportunity to make a short visit (11-13 June 2024) to Ispra and the research centre of their choice.
The JRC site in Ispra is the European Commission's third largest site. Although originally created as a nuclear research site, staff at the Ispra site now work on both non-nuclear research (sustainable resources and transport, space, security, migration, health and consumer protection, energy, efficiency and climate change, growth and innovation) and nuclear research (nuclear safeguards, non-proliferation and nuclear security).
These short stays, the cost of which will be entirely covered by the JRC (flights, accommodation, local travel, meals), will take place from 11 to 13 June 2024.
Four researchers (maximum 7 years post-thesis) will be selected by the Collegium of the Académie Royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts and six others by the Jonge Academie of the Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van België voor wetenschappen en kunsten.
The two and a half day visit to the site could include :
- a half-day of lectures giving an overview of the JRC and topics of general interest to young scientists.
- an observation programme (full day) during which the visiting young scientists are welcomed individually by a scientific unit close to their field of expertise. This programme allows the visiting young scientist to ask any questions they may have and to discover the cutting-edge tools and techniques used at JRC.
- a half-day visit to some of the JRC's flagship laboratories. This part of the visit gives a good impression of the different areas of expertise and infrastructure at JRC.
Applications, in the form of a CV and covering letter, should be sent by email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. by 15/03/2024 at the latest.
The South-East Asia-Europe Network (SEA-EU JFS) is organising a matchmaking event on 15 February at 9.00 (CET) as part of its 2023 call for joint proposals with European and South-East Asian partners (minimum of 3 partners).
This call covers two separate topics, namely:
"Circular Economy
"Clean, accessible, and secure energy".
You can apply until 5 February 2024 to speak at the event and present your research and project ideas. The event will also serve as an information session on the terms and conditions of the call.

The FNRS, in partnership with the "Japan Society for the Promotion of Science - JSPS" (Japan), is pleased to announce the results of the 2023 call for projects under the "PINT-BILAT-M" instrument (bilateral research mobility projects).
11 applications underwent evaluation procedures by the FNRS and the JSPS (Japan), and the agencies jointly selected one project for funding, details of which can be found in the list below.
The Belgian team funded by the FNRS will receive a maximum of €15,000 over a two-year period to finance, in particular, travel, scientific workshops/conferences and, possibly, operating costs. The project will be carried out in collaboration with a Japanese team, which will be funded by the JSPS (Japan).

CHIST-ERA is looking for transformative and highly multidisciplinary research projects. These projects should explore new ideas that are likely to have a significant long-term scientific and technical impact. Each year, CHIST-ERA launches a call for research proposals on two new themes of emerging scientific importance.
In the 2023 call, two distinct topics are addressed, namely:
"Multidimensional Geographic Information Systems (MultiGIS)
"Smart Contracts for Digital Transformation Ecosystems (SmartC)".
🔹Submission deadline: 10/4/2024
