ELEVATE

 

 



The ELEVATE International Career Development Fellowship Programme was set up by the Irish Research Council to assist Experienced Researchers (ERs) in the development of their research careers in both Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS), and Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) areas. ELEVATE fellowships were co-funded between 2013 and 2018 by the Irish Research Council and the European Commission Marie Curie Actions via an award under the FP7 COFUND Programme.

The objectives of the ELEVATE Programme were to provide a career development experience for ERs, add an international dimension to the Fellows’ research careers, and allow them to gain additional skills and expertise. On their return to Ireland, the objective was for the Fellows to utilise and transfer the various skills they have acquired during the Outgoing Phase.

What did ELEVATE Fellows say about their fellowship:

  • “I have recently secured an ERC Starting Grant, and the ELEVATE award certainly contributed a great deal to my application <…> There is no doubt but that my international mobility has enabled me to build and become part of new academic networks that I would not have been aware of or had access to if I had not received the ELEVATE fellowship.”
  • “My ELEVATE Fellowship has been central to my recent career development. <…> I believe I would not have secured this [permanent] position without the opportunities afforded to me through my ELEVATE fellowship.”
  • “During the duration of the ELEVATE project (from 2014 to 2017) the number of citations I have received on my papers has increased from 31 to 161, with my h-index also increasing from 3 to 7 during this period.”
