             The directory of the funding sources
           for promotion of the ethological research:
        research projects, travel and conference grants,
   schools and workshops, pre- and postdoctoral fellowships,
    senior scientists fellowships, cooperation with foreign
                         laboratories.

    This is the newest version of the Directory (July 1995).
We did our best to complete and to update the former version,
but we cannot guarantee that all informations are valid: some
of them were obtained several years ago and may be no more
correct.

    We would be grateful for any future help in completing,
correcting and updating the directory, in particular, for
pointing out which information is no more valid. Do not
hesitate to contact us even if your new information is
incomplete: incomplete information is better than no
information.

    Trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education
between the European Community and the following states of the
former Soviet Union: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,
the Russian Federation, the Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Main aims:
to promote the quality and support the development and renewal
of higher education in the eligible TACIS countries, to
encourage their growing interaction and cooperation with
partners in the European Community. Support of activities
focusing, among others, on psychology and behavioural
sciences. Two types of projects: Pre-Joint European Projects
(Pre-JEPs), lasting for one year, and Joint European Projects
(JEPs), lasting for three years. Both types of projects should
be organised between departments or faculties of institutions
of higher education, in keeping with the "bottom-up" approach
which characterizes the whole TEMPUS Scheme. Pre-JEP grants
must be organised within the framework of stable consortia
which must comprise two or three higher education institutions
located in at least 2 different European Community Member
States and one eligible university in only one of the
following eligible countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Ukraine, Uzbekistan. In
addition, consortia may include one higher education
institution located in one of the above countries: Australia,
Austria, Canada,Finland, Iceland, Japan, Liechtenstein, New
Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA. Consortia
who are awarded a pre-JEPgrant will be eligible to apply for a
JEP grant. Individuals cannot apply directly for grants from
Tempus "Tacis". Research activities are not eligible for
TEMPUS funding. At least two thirds of the participants
travelling from eligible countries to the European Community
should be young teachers/postgraduates under 35 years of age.

    Joint European Projects: means by which consortia of
institutions in the eligible countries, the EC Member States,
and, where appropriate, other countries (Australia, Austria,
Canada, Cyprus, Finland, Iceland, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malta,
New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA) are
ecouraged to cooperate in activities designed to promote the
restructuring of higher education in Central and Eastern
Europe.
    Two types of Joint European Projects: the Structural JEP
and the Mobility JEP. The main objective of the Structural JEP
is the restructuring and modernisation of higher education
system in Central and Eastern Europe in certain priority
areas. Among others, retraining of academic and administrative
staff of the eligible countries and undergraduate and
postgraduate student mobility in both directions West-East and
East-West are eligible activities. The Mobility JEP is
specially designed to promote West-East, East-West and East-
East student mobility; teacher mobility should not be the main
aim of a Mobility JEP. Staff mobility grants are available
for: (1) teaching/training assignments (1 week - 1 academic
year); (2) practical placements in enterprises; (3) short
visits (up to 4 weeks); (4) retraining and updating periods (1
week - 1 academic year); (5) intensive courses (1-4 weeks).
Student mobility grants are available for: (1) study periods
(1 month - 1 year), (2) practical placements in enterprises (1
month - 1 year); (3) short intensive courses (2-4 weeks).
     Support is also provided outside Joint European Projects
for Individual Grants to university teachers, trainers and
administrators, senior Ministry officials, education planners
and other training experts directly involved in the
development of higher education, for the following activities:
short visits (1 week - 2 months) to prepare a Joint European
Project, teaching materials etc. , teaching/training
assignments in universities in the Community and the eligible
countries (1 week - 1 academic year), retraining and updating
for university staff from the eligible countries in the
Community (1 week - 1 year). These grants cannot be awarded to
support research activities.
    Complementary Measures grants may, among others,  provide
limited support to projects involving Youth Activities as well
as exchanges of young people and youth organisers between EC
Member States and the eligible countries. Research activities
may not be funded except where they are part of the process of
learning (for example, postgraduate and doctoral studies).

    Trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education
between the European Community and the following states of the
former Soviet Union: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,
the Russian Federation, the Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Main aims:
to promote the quality and support the development and renewal
of higher education in the eligible TACIS countries, to
encourage their growing interaction and cooperation with
partners in the European Community. Support of activities
focusing, among others, on psychology and behavioural
sciences. Two types of projects: Pre-Joint European Projects
(Pre-JEPs), lasting for one year, and Joint European Projects
(JEPs), lasting for three years. Both types of projects should
be organised between departments or faculties of institutions
of higher education, in keeping with the "bottom-up" approach
which characterizes the whole TEMPUS Scheme. Pre-JEP grants
must be organised within the framework of stable consortia
which must comprise two or three higher education institutions
located in at least 2 different European Community Member
States and one eligible university in only one of the
following eligible countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Ukraine, Uzbekistan. In
addition, consortia may include one higher education
institution located in Finland. Consortia who are awarded a
pre-JEPgrant will be eligible to apply for a JEP grant.
Individuals cannot apply directly for grants from Tempus
"Tacis". Research activities are not eligible for TEMPUS
funding. At least two thirds of the participants travelling
from eligible countries to the European Community should be
young teachers/postgraduates under 35 years of age.

of higher education in the eligible TACIS countries, to
encourage their growing interaction and cooperation with
partners in the European Community. Support of activities
focusing, among others, on psychology and behavioural
sciences. Two types of projects: Pre-Joint European Projects
(Pre-JEPs), lasting for one year, and Joint European Projects
(JEPs), lasting for three years. Both types of projects should
be organised between departments or faculties of institutions
of higher education, in keeping with the "bottom-up" approach
which characterizes the whole TEMPUS Scheme. Pre-JEP grants
must be organised within the framework of stable consortia
which must comprise two or three higher education institutions
located in at least 2 different European Community Member
States and one eligible university in only one of the
following eligible countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Ukraine, Uzbekistan. In
addition, consortia may include one higher education
institution located in Turkey. Consortia who are awarded a pre-
JEPgrant will be eligible to apply for a JEP grant.
Individuals cannot apply directly for grants from Tempus
"Tacis". Research activities are not eligible for TEMPUS
funding. At least two thirds of the participants travelling
from eligible countries to the European Community should be
young teachers/postgraduates under 35 years of age.

    Emphasis is on helping scientists from the U.S.A.I.D.
target countries to obtain Israeli technology and to
collaborate with Israeli researchers. Grant funding for target
country and Israeli scientists to cooperate in joint research.
Predominant benefit to developing countries and full
intelectual participation of target country scientists are
essential to all CDR projects.
Researchers may be from private sector, university or
government laboratories. Bilateral cooperation between the
U.S. and Israel is not supported by the CDR Program. The USAID
Regional Cooperation Program funds cooperation between Israel
and its Arab neighbors. CDR strongly encourages women,
minorities, and persons with disabilities to participate fully
in its competitive programs.
    The U.S. - Israel CDR Program seeks innovative research
ideas in the natural sciences and engineering that aim to
solve serious development problems (among others, biological
control of insects). Purely basic research is not funded.
    Currently CDR is open for the following Central and
Eastern European countries: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,
Slovak Republic.
    Separate guidelines are provided for the CDR program
targeting Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and

Canada, Cyprus, Finland, Iceland, Japan, Liechtenstein, Malta,
New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, USA) are
ecouraged to cooperate in activities designed to promote the
restructuring of higher education in Central and Eastern
Europe.
    Two types of Joint European Projects: the Structural JEP
and the Mobility JEP. The main objective of the Structural JEP
is the restructuring and modernisation of higher education
system in Central and Eastern Europe in certain priority
areas. Among others, retraining of academic and administrative
staff of the eligible countries and undergraduate and
postgraduate student mobility in both directions West-East and
East-West are eligible activities. The Mobility JEP is
specially designed to promote West-East, East-West and East-
East student mobility; teacher mobility should not be the main
aim of a Mobility JEP. Staff mobility grants are available

    Emphasis is on helping scientists from the U.S.A.I.D.
target countries to obtain Israeli technology and to
collaborate with Israeli researchers. Grant funding for target
country and Israeli scientists to cooperate in joint research.
Predominant benefit to developing countries and full
intelectual participation of target country scientists are
essential to all CDR projects.
Researchers may be from private sector, university or
government laboratories. Bilateral cooperation between the
U.S. and Israel is not supported by the CDR Program. The USAID
Regional Cooperation Program funds cooperation between Israel
and its Arab neighbors. CDR strongly encourages women,
minorities, and persons with disabilities to participate fully
in its competitive programs.
    The U.S. - Israel CDR Program seeks innovative research
ideas in the natural sciences and engineering that aim to
solve serious development problems (among others, biological
control of insects). Purely basic research is not funded.
    Currently CDR is open for the following Central and
Eastern European countries: Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland,
Slovak Republic.
    Separate guidelines are provided for the CDR program
targeting Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and
Uzbekistan.

    Trans-European cooperation scheme for higher education
between the European Community and the following states of the
former Soviet Union: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova,
the Russian Federation, the Ukraine and Uzbekistan. Main aims:
to promote the quality and support the development and renewal
of higher education in the eligible TACIS countries, to
encourage their growing interaction and cooperation with
partners in the European Community. Support of activities
focusing, among others, on psychology and behavioural
sciences. Two types of projects: Pre-Joint European Projects
(Pre-JEPs), lasting for one year, and Joint European Projects
(JEPs), lasting for three years. Both types of projects should
be organised between departments or faculties of institutions
of higher education, in keeping with the "bottom-up" approach
which characterizes the whole TEMPUS Scheme. Pre-JEP grants
must be organised within the framework of stable consortia
which must comprise two or three higher education institutions
located in at least 2 different European Community Member
States and one eligible university in only one of the
following eligible countries: Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova, the Russian Federation, the Ukraine, Uzbekistan. In
addition, consortia may include one higher education
institution located in the USA. Consortia who are awarded a
pre-JEPgrant will be eligible to apply for a JEP grant.
Individuals cannot apply directly for grants from Tempus
"Tacis". Research activities are not eligible for TEMPUS
funding. At least two thirds of the participants travelling
from eligible countries to the European Community should be
young teachers/postgraduates under 35 years of age.
