The ATTRACT programme is designed for researchers not yet established in Luxembourg, who demonstrate the potential to become leaders in their field of research. The scheme offers promising junior researchers the opportunity to set up their own research team within one of the country’s research institutions.
Researchers are eligible between 2 and 8 years after their PhD, they must have an outstanding track record in their field which has to fit strategically to the research agenda of the Luxembourg host institution.
Host institutions offer candidates the prospect of developing an own research line. ATTRACT fellows are offered individual coaching and a career track towards a tenured position.
Proposals selected under the ATTRACT programme have a lifespan of five years. The financial contribution by FNR can be up to €1.5 or €2 millions for ‘Starting Investigators’ or ‘Consolidating Investigators’, respectively.
Deadline for the pre-proposal: 15 November 2019.
