Offer Description

In order to promote the mobility of researchers* to Wallonia, the SPW Research has set up a new mechanism to finance their receiption in Wallonia / Wallonia-Brussels Federation : the "BEWARE Fellowships 2".

BEWARE2 aims to attract 75 qualified researchers to the Walloon companies where they will spend half of their stay while the other half will be at a university, a university college or a research centre (a single employment contract).

The mandate covers the salary, a mobility allowance and operating costs.

This call for proposals aims to promote the mobility of researchers (a) who are highly qualified towards companies (b) and approved research centres, universities or research centres backed by colleges in Wallonia/Wallonia-Brussels Federation (c).

In fact, the proposal must be structured around the trio (a) + (b) + (c).

The stay of these researchers must lead to an increase in scientific and technological potential in Wallonia through, such as:

  • the development and validation of new products, processes or services intended to be promoted industrially in the short term, or
  • the acquisition and development of a new technology, and
  • the development of the skills of the researcher.
