What is the TOR program?

The TOR program aims to promote the cooperation between French and Swedish researchers by giving the possibility to have a short experience in Sweden (1 week). The program intends to establish new collaborations (especially in regards to setting up European projects) and/or strengthen the existing collaborations between French and Swedish scientists, universities or research centers.

The grant will only cover the travelling and accommodation costs, i.e. the cost of the flight from Sweden as well as local transfer and the accommodation in Sweden. Travelling is usually done in economy class or equivalent. The grant is for a maximum amount of € 750 or € 1500 and covers only travel and accommodation expenses in Sweden.

Are considered as young researchers those whose PhD has been obtained within the past ten years. All research fields are eligible.
