Deadline for proposals: 5 August, 2022
16 June 2022
The Joint Committee of ESO and the Government of Chile has opened its funding opportunities for 2022. It will consider all proposals that contribute to the development of astronomy in Chile and will allocate funding of approximately 450 million Chilean pesos in 2022.
The criteria for the allocation of funding will take into account the merit of the projects, the strategic priorities determined by the Committee, the match between the requested amount and the scope of the projects, and the applicants’ records.
The programmes to be supported by this fund belong to the following areas:
- Funding of postdoctoral programmes and extended scientific visits for a duration of one to three months for postdocs, researchers or senior faculty of academic institutions.
- Academic faculty positions for periods of up to two years at Chilean academic institutions.
- Development and presentation of educational programmes for the teaching and dissemination of astronomy in Chile.
- Development programmes and the construction of technological systems for astronomy.
- Development of astronomy in areas not covered by the above four categories.
ESO provides and manages this annual fund as part of the programme of scientific cooperation with its host country Chile. Representatives from both ESO and the Chilean Government sit on the Joint committee board. Chile is represented through the Science, Energy, Education, Innovation and Astronomy Division (DECYTI) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the participation of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Knowledge and Innovation, as well as the Chilean Astronomical Society (SOCHIAS).
Proposals must be submitted at an institutional level by Friday 5 August 2022 at 23:59, and must be written in English or Spanish, using the following form (in Spanish only).
