The William Harvey International Translational Research Academy (WHRI-ACADEMY) is a new mobility fellowship programme which aims to provide multidisciplinary projects to transnational researchers to help to maximise their career development opportunities in healthcare and life sciences. A large number of European and international universities and research institutes and industry and private partners have already enrolled as host organisations on the basis of their excellence in post doctoral training and development, outstanding infrastructure, high scientific prominence and high intensity of innovation activities. Please note that WHRI-ACADEMY programme is open to enrol additional host organisations (How to become a host organisation)
The key aspects of the programme are:
- truly worldwide collaborative opportunities for fellows in both academic and industrial environments;
- partner organisations who will host the fellows both within and outside the EU thus providing mobility opportunities for fellows to and from a wide geographical area;
- a transnational inter-sectorial exchange dimension between academia and SMEs to enable academic research fellows try an SME working environment without a gap in their academic careers;
- an incoming mobility component to enable top-class Third Country fellows from emerging economies to be hosted in Europe to both enhance competition and to establish mutually-beneficial research cooperation; and
- a reintegration component to counter the brain drain of European researchers to Third Countries.
WHRI-ACADEMY starting date is on 02 January 2014 and it will run for 5 years, launching indicatively 4 calls for proposals.
WHRI-ACADEMY offers 175 new post-doc fellowships spread between three different schemes (incoming, outgoing and reintegration) and a training programme, including workshops, dedicated training in complementary skills and industrial placement. WHRI-ACADEMY fellowships have a minimum duration of 12 months and a maximum of 36 months.
