Fellowships for short research visits - CEPS/INSTEAD
at the Centre d'Etudes de Populations, de Pauvreté et de Politiques Socio-Economiques
in cooperation with the International Network for Studies in Technology, Environment, Alternatives, Development
Duration: November 2007- April 2008
Site: Differdange, Luxembourg
Topics: CEPS/INSTEAD offers researchers the opportunity to spend time carrying out their own research using the local research facilities. This programme is currently sponsored by the European Community’s 6th Framework Programme. Grants cover travel expenses and on-site accommodation and include a stipend of 25 EUR/day for living expenses. The major resource offered to visitors is access to a series of internationally comparable (often longitudinal) surveys at the household and individual level. The anonymized micro-data can provide information about wages and income, living conditions, health, education, employment and professional activities, accommodation, social relations, values and attitudes. Comparable micro-data are available for EU countries, Central European countries, as well as the USA. These data offer opportunities to carry out research in fields such as income distribution and welfare, income and poverty dynamics, multi-dimensional poverty and deprivation, survey and panel data methodology, values and attitudes, gender, ethnic and social inequality, unemployment and labour supply behaviour, education and training, social protection and redistributive policies, fertility and family structures, new information technologies in households and firms.
Eligibility: All individuals (doctoral students as well as experienced academics) conducting research in an institution within the EU-27 or an FP6 Associated State
