IUFRO Short Scientific Visits (SSV)
In 2023, IUFRO’s Special Programme for Development of Capacities will offer grants of up
to €5,000 for Short Scientific Visits for early career scientists affiliated with IUFRO
member organisations. These visits will provide a unique opportunity for young scientists
from Africa, Asia and Latin America to visit a forest research organisation overseas and
conduct international scientific collaboration.
IUFRO is conscious of the importance of connecting the young forest science community to
address challenges facing forests and forestry. Broadly, we strive to provide these future
leaders with international experience to better equip them to address future global
challenges and identify, create and fully utilise emerging opportunities.
The desired outcome is to provide both the grantee and their affiliated organisation with
the opportunity to build research collaboration and capacity and to provide opportunities
extending beyond the initial scientific exchange. The goals for the grantee are broad and
could include for example, skills development, establishing productive relationships with
scientific peers in the host country, using the visit to benefit their own research and,
if possible, publishing of scientific material.
HOW TO APPLY? - BY 31 JULY 2023
Potential applicants are required to contact the potential host organisation prior to
applying for a grant. Together they shall develop and agree on essential elements for the
short scientific visit grant application including a project proposal and work plan,
timing and duration of the proposed visit, and a mentor in the host country.
Candidates interested in applying for a short scientific visit grant should complete the
online application form <https://forms.office.com/e/ucSqLcBgme> and submit their
complete application documents in one PDF including all required application documents
(work plan, endorsement letter by host and applicant’s Head of Department, and CV of
applicant and mentor) by 31 July 2023. The PDF document should be uploaded with a filename
following the format “SSV_FirstnameLastnameCountry.pdf” to this link
<https://iufroorg-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/grecu_iufro_org/Ethk61-DDAxLnFH7MK7hJq0BkbV0aT9KgzvMEKy2GqN2Sg>
. Only complete applications will be considered.

EVALUATION CRITERIA
The applicants will be selected on a competitive basis in accordance with the following
criteria
* Originality and relevance of the research topic
* Applicant’s previous experience and work on the proposed research topic
* Overall quality of the work plan
* Feasibility of the work planned at the host institution
* Geographic and gender balance
Applicants that have not previously been awarded a grant for a short scientific visit have
preference.
FUNDING
The grant supporting the scientific visits will be a lump sum payment of up to €5,000 that
will be paid once the grantee has acknowledged that the application has been successful
and upon signing of the grant acceptance agreement.
The funding should cover travel and subsistence costs for the period of the grant.
HOST INSTITUTION
The applicant will be responsible for obtaining the agreement of the host institution
before submitting the application. While the applicant needs to be affiliated with a
member organisation of IUFRO, the host institution need not necessarily be a member
institution. If you are interested in hosting an SSV, we encourage you to share this
application with potential candidates.
