2015-16 Call for FLASH Research Projects with India
© 2015 CODEV
Leading House Mandate - for the current phase covering 2013-2016, the SERI has entrusted EPFL with the task of expanding the existing scientific collaboration with India, to implement new instruments for funding.
Aiming at intensifying scientific cooperation between Indian and Swiss scientists or institutions, the FLASH Research Programme is a new funding instrument that allows researchers to react immediately to exceptional events by setting up joint research projects between partners from India and Switzerland.
Some research can be planned long in advance, while in some circumstances researchers have to be able to react quickly when exceptional events happen; the FLASH Research programme will allow such a quick reactivity.
It will promote the production of original scientific results linked to exceptional events, whether it be of an environmental, political or societal nature, and enable scientists to investigate rare or unusual information, that cannot be gathered under normal conditions.
Detailed information on the call and application forms are available on http://cooperation.epfl.ch/FLASH.
