Common use of Visiting Scientists Clause in Contracts

Visiting Scientists. We consider the recruitment of visiting scientists (VS) an excellent way of efficient knowledge transfer into the network projects and a means to significantly enhance the training capacity and quality. We intend to recruit senior scientists with an international reputation for a total duration of 18 months. Visiting scientists, generally senior researchers with an international reputation in the field of radiation detectors, will be invited to work for periods of typically 1-2 months with one of the network participants. The VS will be chosen for their specific expertise, know-how and skills. They will work with the local teams on their project, in direct contact with the ESRs and ERs. The trainees will profit from their particular expertise and experience. These visits will contribute to a mutual transfer of knowledge between the network and outside institutions. Visiting scientists will also be invited to give special lectures and seminars, preferably at the network’s training events. Large infrastructures are available on the various sites and at the sites of the industrial partners. The use of these highly-specialised experimental set-ups is quite often in the hands of very few experts. Visiting scientists can transfer essential knowledge among the different institutes. Also the evaluation of certain development processes at other institutes can reveal new roads to success. For young researchers it is attractive to get training from well known experts on the use of specialised apparatuses.
