The Centre for International Mobility CIMO invites applications from Russian and Ukrainian postgraduate students for participation in the 17th Winter School organized during 11 - 16 March 2013 at Tvärminne zoological station of the University of Helsinki (http://luoto.tvarminne.helsinki.fi). The applicants must be citizens of Russia or Ukraine and not over 35 years of age. Applications are not accepted from those who have participated in one of the previous Winter Schools.
The goal of the Winter School is to enhance the mobility of young researchers and postgraduate students between Finland and the participating countries and to increase the cooperation between the universities. Before applying for participation in the 17th Winter School, the applicants are expected to contact one or more scientists/research group leaders at Finnish universities to discuss a possible project with them. Expression of interest by the Finnish host will be considered an advantage during the selection process.
Those Winter School participants who will be invited to Finland after the Winter School by Finnish research teams will be offered a scholarship from the CIMO Fellowship programme. The invited participants of the Winter School will be expected to come to work or study in Finland for 3 to 18 months. In 2012, the monthly amount of scholarship was 1200 euro.
The 17th CIMO Winter School is multidisciplinary. Applications from related fields, such as biochemistry, linguistics,molecular and cell biology, physiology, bioenergetics, imaging of cells, neuroscience, nanoscience, computer science, molecular medicine and medicine, etc. are welcome.
