The ESF is not a "funding organisation" as such and does not award grants to students or individual researchers outside its designated funding instruments and related activities (see below). Therefore, please refer to the Marie Curie Actions, to the European Research Council (starting grants) or to the funding provided by some charities, philanthropic associations or foundations at the national level, etc.
However, the ESF does support short visits (15 days) or exchange visits (from 15 days to 6 months) as part of its Research Networking Programmes (RNPs). For possibilities and conditions, please refer to the following link, from which individual RNPs can be accessed.
Similarly, the ESF does not financially support individual meetings apart from the following types of events (also described further above in the page) which have an annual call:
- ESF Exploratory Workshops
- ESF Research Conferences
