€220 million scheme aims to encourage return of 700 young Italian researchers from abroad
A new scheme that will allocate €220 million to encourage 700 young Italian researchers abroad to move back to Italy was launched in August, as part of a €600m programme funded by the EU’s Covid-19 recovery fund.
The funding will be split in three lines: the first will allocate €100m for previous winners of an EU European Research Council Starting Grant, who will each receive up to €1m.
