EUREMAP staff exchange call

 

Scope of the call 

Under WP15/16, we will organise staff exchanges and job shadowing opportunities between EUREMAP partners. Job shadowing is a unique on-the-job learning opportunity through extended, in-depth bilateral staff exchanges.  

The focus of the staff exchanges and job shadowing will be to improve the technical proficiencies and managerial competences across the consortium to increase the overall quality of the service provision by EUREMAP partners. Partners will have the opportunity to visit one another to observe and/or gain hands-on experience with specific techniques or workflows that can later be implemented at their home institutions.  

Staff exchanges/job shadows may last up to two weeks and must be hosted by a EUREMAP partner 

The EUREMAP First Internal Call for Staff Exchanges & Job Shadows is open for exchanges of the following categories: 

Technical  - For researchers at EUREMAP partners interested in learning or observing techniques or methodologies related to the EUREMAP pipeline of services.  Possible foci may include: 

  • Technologies/methodologies used across all stages of the pipeline
