  2. COFUND Increasing Marie Curie opportunities for researchers by co-funding regional, national and international programmes Over 175 co-funded programmes funded via FP7 All are fellowships programmes (post-PhD researchers or equivalent) 8 in Ireland: majority are run by funding agencies except RCSI, UCD and DOCTRID (intellectual disability charity) Commission paid for 40% of the programme cost

  3. UCD Energy 21 Built on one of UCD’s 4 research themes: Earth Sciences, Energy and the Environment UCD will award 21 fellowships for Experienced Researchers to work at UCD – all fellowships include a secondment outside Ireland Marie Curie COFUND award provides 40% co-funding from the Commission 60% own funding came from a pool of funds earmarked for the UCD Energy Institute – mix of sources including philanthropic and industry funding

  4. COFUND in Horizon 2020 Horizon 2020 will offer co-funding for: Doctoral Training/Scholarship programmes Post-doctoral and/or Senior Fellowship programmes (post-PhD or equivalent) Staff exchange programmes (post 2015) Co-funding rate is 45% (+ 5%) If you have funding for 5 postdocs/PhD students, you can apply to turn that into funding for 10!

  5. EU Contribution Depends on whether the researcher is paid a salary (preferred if possible), or a stipend COFUND only co-finances the Living+Mobility Allowance and the Management Costs – all other costs (e.g. research, travel, family allowance, indirect costs (overheads) must be financed from own budget

  6. Minimum Remuneration Choose your own funding rates, but EC has specified minimum rates for Living & Mobility Allowances (70% of the MSCA rates for the other Actions)

  7. Example – PhD programme Doctoral Programme Student (ESR) is paid a Stipend => EU Contribution €927.50 per month Minimum living plus mobility allowance is €1298.50 per month Other Costs (e.g. research, management, indirect) must be 100% financed from own budget “Own budget” can come from any source, including Structural Funds EU Co-Funding 38%

  8. Example – Fellowships Programme 1 Post-doctoral Fellowships Programme Researcher (ER) is paid a salary => EU contribution €2625 per month Minimum living plus mobility allowance is €3675 per month Other Costs (e.g. research, management, indirect) must be 100% financed from own budget “Own budget” can come from any source, including Structural Funds EU Co-Funding 52%

  9. Example – Fellowships Programme 2 Short-term travel fellowships programme Researcher (ER) is paid a stipend(grant on top of existing salary) Minimum living plus mobility allowance is €1837.50 per month Other Costs (e.g. research, management, indirect) must be 100% financed from own budget “Own budget” can come from any source, including Structural Funds EU Co-funding 39%
