description
This programme invites outside experts to ECFIN to prepare a research paper and share their findings with staff. DG ECFIN seeks to attract leading economists in academia, international organisations, governments and top research institutions to participate in its Visiting Fellows Programme.
Visiting Fellows are invited for a short-term visit (normally for one or two weeks with the possibility of an extension of up to three months) to present and discuss with ECFIN staff original research work related to the functioning of the European Economic and Monetary Union, both from a macroeconomic and a microeconomic perspective. The general aim of the programme is to enhance the overall quality of work done at ECFIN as well as strengthening in-house knowledge by improving its connections with the economic research community.
The programme gives ECFIN staff better access to ongoing research work and new approaches and insights into issues of relevance for ECFIN. Visiting fellows, for their part, have an opportunity to experience the policy-making environment in which ECFIN operates. During their stay, Visiting Fellows present their research work at a seminar and prepare a paper for possible publication in ECFIN’s “Economic Papers” series or another publication to be decided by ECFIN. Visiting Fellows should also be available for discussion with staff members and, if requested, to advise them on research problems pertinent to ECFIN.
Visiting Fellows staying for one or two weeks in Brussels receive an honorarium of between €1,500 and €3,750 (depending upon experience and length of stay), together with a daily subsistence allowance of €92 and an accomodation allowance of €100 per night.
Furthermore, the Commission will reimburse travel costs according to current regulations in force.
