IA1 Objectives

This activity aims to increase ties to transnational

research promoting interdisciplinary academicnetworks knowledge between institutions.

IA1 targets both members of the consortium, as wellas researchers not affiliated with any partner.

IA1 aims to strength cooperation andjoint researchactivities, broadening the horizons of researchers andpromote co-advising of PhD students and youngresearchers.

WP Detailed Workplan

Task I1.1 Mapping the field (OXF, EPFL)

o Online institutional survey to outline the partnersacademic expertise, JRA activities, their recent orcurrent research (academic strength), institutionalresearch groups, PhD programmes, existence of aninstitutional mobility department/initiatives, etc.

o The survey will allow to collect information aboutinterdisciplinary research conducted by each partner,identifying thus the available resources and contactdetails to foster the research mobility among the

partners.

Task I1.2 Identification of interested participants (OXF, EPFL)

Online individual survey of PhD students, youngresearches or external people, interested parties andfaculty in participating. This instrument will be used toidentify the interest (research, expertise, skills, profile) ofpotential participants.

Task I1.3 Development of information resources for promoting

the inter-institutional collaboration (OXF, EPFL) Facilitate the links and communication between

institutions/departments/JRA and the potential participants. Faculty members will be encourage to co-advise those PhD

students, young researchers or other participants. Relevant information and assistance will be provided to mobility

candidates (online tool to identify the best mobility opportunitiesavailable in EINS; new calls for visiting scholar or student) tofacilitate the mobility experience.

Interdependencies with other WPs

All the partners will have to fulfill the survey and

prepare reports if they preform has hostinginstitutions.

Close communication with the leaders of the JRA,the EINS website (SEA1) will facilitate the mobility of

(internal or external) participants. Participants of the research mobility are expected to

collaborate in the JRAs and present their results inthe summer schools (IA2).
