26 ALECS research grants in Ireland

Advanced Learning in Evolving Critical Systems (ALECS) is an innovative scholarship program coordinated by  Lero – the Irish Software Research Center  . The initiative is co-funded by the European Commission in the framework of the  Marie Skłodowska-Curie program  and by the  Science Foundation Ireland,  through Lero.

The objective of the program is to provide training and career development to researchers by providing international mobility and intersectoral exposure. As a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship, ALECS offers high quality professional opportunities open to researchers of all ages, all nationalities and all disciplines who meet the program’s eligibility criteria.

The program will fund 26 research grants   for  researchers with a doctorate  or  with at least 4 years of full-time equivalent research experience  .

Lero – the Irish Software Research Center is the program coordinator. However,   a degree in computer science or software engineering   is not   mandatory  .  Applications are open to candidates from complementary disciplines. 

Fellows will be recruited through internationally published calls for proposals.

All applicants should discuss their research idea and seek the support of an  eligible academic supervisor  for their application. Applications without such support  will not be  considered.
