In 2008 the European Commission, under the Seventh Framework Programme, released a Marie Curie scheme called the Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme (IRSES). IRSES aims to strengthen research partnerships through short period staff exchanges and networking activities between European research organisations and organisations from countries with which the Community has an S&T agreement, including Australia.
Under this scheme the Academy provided a contribution towards travel and subsistence costs for Australian research organisations to establish or reinforce long-term research co-operation through a joint program of short-term institutional staff exchanges of up to 12 months. The European Commission will support the travel and living costs of European staff travelling to Australia. Only Australian organisations that were partners of a European-led consortium that had already been selected to receive funding from the European Commission’s IRSES program were eligible to apply.
