NetWordS: The European Network on Word Structure
Cross-disciplinary approaches to understanding word structure in the 
languages of Europe
 
First Call for Proposals
Travel grants for short visits and exchange grants.

Morphologically complex words represent a fundamental part of 
linguistic knowledge and the basic building blocks of language 
productivity. Nonetheless, words remain a challenging realm of 
scientific inquiry, at the interface between lexicon and grammar, 
requiring integration of a number of orthogonal disciplines and 
approaches, ranging from psycho- and neuro-linguistics to theoretical, 
variationist and historical linguistics, to memory processes and 
computational models of (sub)symbolic processing. As part of an effort 
to provide a platform for morphological research, the European 
Science Foundation has installed the networking program NetWordS 
devoted to the study of word structure.

The chief aim of the network is to bring together experts of different 
scientific domains and different theoretical inclinations to advance our 
current awareness of the theoretical, typological, psycholinguistic, 
computational and neurophysiological evidence on the structure and 
processing of words, with a view to promoting novel methods of 
research and assessment for grammar architecture and language 
physiology.

NetWordS now invites proposals for travel grants for so-called short 
visits (up to 15 days) and so-called exchange visits (from 15 days to six 
months) to support collaborative morphological research in Europe. 
Successful applicants will be invited to present their projects at a 
workshop to be held in the fall or winter of 2012 (date and venue to be 
determined). Separate funds will be available to support attendances.
 
The short visits program is seeking proposals that will bring together 
teams of researchers (across separate countries) to enrich the field 
through collaborations. These collaborations will ideally involve 
investigators from different disciplinary backgrounds, working on 
projects that combine methods and insights from their respective fields 
to open up new perspectives on word structure. Projects proposals 
need to involve at least two researchers from two different European 
countries.

Reimbursement of travel expenses will be administered through the 
ESF. Short Visit Grants cover actual travel expenses up to a maximum 
of 500 EUR per participating site, plus a per diem of 85 EUR.

Applications for Short Visit Grants include the following items:
 
- a description of the project work (about 250 words) and the aim of the 
visit
- CV of applicant of maximally 2 pages, incl. a list of (selected) 
publications
- researcher(s) involved (incl. short CVs) and the research institution to 
be visited
- proposed dates and estimated travel costs*
 
The exchange visits program is primarily geared towards junior 
researchers (PhD students or post-docs) and is seeking proposals that 
enable researchers to pursue more long-term collaborations on larger 
projects. These collaborations will ideally bring together investigators 
from different disciplinary backgrounds, with younger researchers 
profiting from, for example, the expertise of a more senior collaborator 
in a different country or the experimental facilities available at the host 
institution. Projects proposals need to involve at least two researchers 
from two different European countries.

Exchange Visit Grants are reimbursed on the basis of an allowance of 
1600 EUR per month/400 EUR per week/57 EUR per day plus actual 
travel expenses up to a maximum of 500 EUR. Due to budget 
constraints, upon receiving notification of acceptance of their proposal, 
applicants could be invited to curtail duration of their visits.

Applications for Exchange Visit Grants include the following items:
 
- a description of the project work (about 1000 words) and the aim of 
the visit
- a CV of maximally 2 pages, including a list of (selected) publications
- a letter of recommendation from someone familiar with the applicant's 
work
- a letter of acceptance by the host institution
- proposed dates and estimated travel costs*

Applications to either program should be submitted by email to info-
networds at ilc.cnr.it.

Overall, up to 40 grants will be available.
 
Deadline for applications: September 5th 2011
Notification of results: by November 30th 2011
 
Following the ESF guidelines*, preference will be given to projects 
involving researchers from countries with ESF member organizations 
contributing to this networking program, but proposals involving a non-
contributing country will also be considered. A list of the contributing 
countries and application forms are available at www.networds-esf.eu
