Agreement allows researchers from the city state to visit European Research Council teams
The European Research Council and the National Research Foundation Singapore signed an agreement on 6 October allowing researchers from the country to apply for funding to visit Europe and temporarily work with ERC-funded teams.
Jean-Eric Paquet, director-general of the European Commission’s R&D department, described the agreement as a “win-win” and noted that Singapore “hosts much scientific talent”. NRF head Low Teck Seng said he hoped that ERC-funded researchers would also visit Singapore.
