COSPAR

This program is open to young scientists who have been participants at
one of the COSPAR Capacity-Building workshops to enable them to build
on skills gained at the workshop. It provides for visits of 2-6 weeks
duration for the purpose of discussing ideas for a future workshop or
carrying out joint research with one of the previously agreed
lecturers/advisors of the corresponding workshop.
The areas of research will be broadly restricted to topics that have
been covered at a COSPAR Capacity-Building Workshop and applicants
must have been a participant in one of these workshops. A number of
fellowships will be available each year.
The Proposed Research Program These fellowships are intended to foster research collaborations
between scientists in developing countries and those composing the
Lecture Boards of the different workshops; they are not primarily
intended for training purposes. For this reason, the quality of the
proposed research will be an important criterion for success in
selection
The program must be presented jointly by the applicant for the
fellowship and an identified scientist who has agreed to receive and
work with the applicant in their laboratory. Confidence of success
in setting up a collaboration which is likely to lead to continuing
research by the applicant will be essential for selection. It is of
course not in general envisaged that the proposed research will be
started and completed within the term of the fellowship
Conditions of the Fellowship Normally, the costs of board and lodging for between 2 and 6 weeks
at the host institute, which may be in university student
accommodation or its equivalent, are covered by the institute or
host themselves, making the willingness of the supervisor to host a
student a critical part of the application. If they have been
selected, successful applicants will be expected to apply for travel
funds in their home country. Some developing-country governments
have agreed to support this scheme, and COSPAR will in these cases
help applicants to make appropriate contacts. If this is not
successful, fellows will also be able to apply for travel from a
COSPAR fund, but this will be restricted to the highest priority
applicants. Although the total available COSPAR funding is limited
and cannot cover the full cost of a trip, potential fellows or hosts
in unusual situations are encouraged to contact the chair about how
to maximize the benefit of any COSPAR funding. However, under no
circumstances is COSPAR able to fund any costs except for those
directly related to the visit itself
Fellows will be required to submit a report on their visit within
6 weeks of their return to their home country
There is no formal bar to holding these fellowships more than
once, though an interval of at least one year between successive
occasions will normally apply
Successful applicants will be responsible for obtaining any
necessary visas for their visit to the receiving laboratory
Applications Applications can be made by submitting the application form to Dr Randall K
Smith, the PCB Chair for Fellowships. Submission by E-mail is
preferred. The form can be filled in using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader
software; if there a problem, a text version is also
available.
The description of the proposed research should be
kept to less than 1500 characters, or approximately 1 page of
text. Applications can be made annually for visits to take place
within the subsequent year, and will normally not be within 3 months
of attendance at a workshop. Further information about the scheme can be obtained from Dr
Randall K Smith of the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory
(rsmith-pcbfp@head.cfa.harvard.edu). Help and advice in setting up joint programs of research can also be obtained from the following: Institution Contact (area of interest) E-mail Astronomy Group, University of
Southampton, United Kingdom Dr. Diego Altamirano Istituto di Fisica dello Spazio Interplanetario, Italy Dr. Raffaella D'Amicis European Space Astronomy Centre Dr Carlos Gabriel ESA Space Situational Awareness, Germany Dr. Alexi Glover Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory Dr. Randall K Smith Climatology from Satellites Group,
Department of Earth Physics and Thermodynamics, University of
Valencia, Spain Dr. Ernesto Lopez-Baeza University of Groningen, Groningen Prof Mariano Mendez Applications will be processed twice each year though they can be
made at any time. The processing dates will be around 15th September
and 15th March. Applications that arrive after these dates will be
held to the next round. Criteria for Selection Criteria for selection will include:
