Dear Students,
We would like to inform you that the University of Padua (Italy) has launched the fourth edition of the Supporting Talent in Research@University of Padua – STARS@UNIPD 2023 call for proposals. Such intramural funding Programme supports excellent 30-month research projects to be performed in Padua by outstanding Principal Investigators (PIs) of any age and nationality, choosing the University and one of its 32 Departments as their working base.
The STARS@UNIPD call aims at promoting and encouraging high quality, innovative and ambitious research in all scientific areas, offering support to ground-breaking ideas with definite potential to turn into competitive proposals for international fundings, such as the prestigious European Research Council grants.
In particular, STARS Starting Grants (STARS-StG) are designed to fund promising international PIs who have defended their first PhD within maximum 5 years (prior to 1st January 2023) and are about to establish their own research team and/or starting their own independent research. A Mobility allowance has been introduced to support researchers coming to Italy from abroad.
The application deadline is on 28 February 2023 at 1:00 p.m. (Italy time zone).
For further information regarding the call, its annexes, and the on line procedure for the submission go to the website: https://www.unipd.it/en/stars2023 (in English).
Please find enclosed a brief Summary of the Programme and the flyer.
