PROGRAMMING (PROmoting GeRiAtric Medicine in countries where it is still eMergING, COST Action CA21122) is pleased to announce the first open call for Virtual Mobility (VM) grant applications.
VM is a special type of networking activity which enables a professional collaboration of the grantee with other researchers and innovators or organizations. This collaboration might be in the form of (but not limited to) a virtual mentoring, designing or performing a scientific study (e.g. data collection, statistical analysis etc.) or coordination of a project which benefit the Action’s objectives.
The VM grant candidate should propose a specific task/project of their choice to be completed in a determined period of time OR could choose one of the missions proposed by the Working Group 5 (WG5) leaders to facilitate the objectives of this WG namely:
- Design and editing of Digital Newsletter – 2 issues per year
- Design and Management of Social Media content
- Organization of Focus groups and report of results through the format of a scientific paper to be published
- Post-production of PROGRAMMING promotional videos
The amount of the grant which has a maximum limit of EUR 1500,00 (per grant) is to be decided by the Action’s Core Group considering the complexity of the task and activities to be covered via the VM grant and the number of grants to be awarded. This funding aims to contribute for the overall effort given during the completion of the special work.
