Report on the ESRs fellowships

Report on the ESRs fellowships organized in the project in order to promote a strong involvement of ESRs from UMCS. 8 ESRs from the UMCS will have the opportunity to apply for a fellowship lasting 2 months to be spent at KUL or UNIMC (according to their scientific background). During the fellowship ESRs will conduct studies on specific research topics previously identified by the partners within task 1.2 and 1.3. ESRs will be exposed to excellent research environments and will be expected to prepare 1 paper, whose co-author will be researchers of the leading institutions, to be presented at prestigious conferences or submitted to international journals. During the fellowship ESRs will benefit from joint supervision: by a supervisor of UMCS and by a mentor at the hosting institution. Once returned, they will continue to benefit from mentorship given by KUL or UNIMC through the Knowledge Platform (task 3.1).In order to maximise the impact of this experience, preparatory and orientation activities will be made at the sending institution.
