About The CIMPA-ICTP "Research in Pairs" Fellowship Program
The CIMPA-ICTP "Research in Pairs" fellowship program supports mathematicians from developing countries by funding their visits to Europe to collaborate with a colleague. The two researchers will work together on a well-defined research project, primarily at the European colleague’s institution.
Benefits of The CIMPA-ICTP "Research in Pairs" Fellowship Program
- The amount of the support will be determined based on the location of the selected candidate and on the duration of their visit and can be up to a maximum of 10,000 euros. It can only cover the candidate's personal costs, including transportation, accommodation, insurance, visa etc. during the entire visit.

- The European colleague is a researcher holding a PhD in mathematics who throughout the candidate’s stay will be based in one of the following countries: Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland;
- During their time in Europe, the selected candidate will record/broadcast a mathematics mini-course of approximately 8 hours, in French or English, targeting students in their master's or at the beginning of their PhD. The lectures will become a reference for all students who want to learn about the topic of the lectures. This will therefore be considered an important part of the application and we encourage candidates to prepare it with great care. The lectures will be recorded during their stay, generally at the end of their collaboration period.
