RISE is a staff exchange action designed to stimulate transfer of knowledge and sharing of ideas. Based around a common research and innovation project this call provides a flexible inter-sector and International exchanges of highly skilled staff. Exchanges between Institutions within Europe can be inter-sectoral, where as exchanges with Institutions from outside Europe can be both inter-sector AND within the same sector.
The call page for 2018 can be found here. We anticipate the 2019 call will open in December 2018.
Please contact the Research Development International team if you'd like further information, or are considering being involved in a RISE proposal.
Important information
It is University Policy that all applications to Horizon 2020 are supported by the RD International team and approved through fEC ahead of submission. Please ensure that you contact the RD International team as early as possible to inform them of any applications to the EC. If Institutional approval to submit is not sought ahead of the deadline then this could result in the University refusing to host the project if awarded.
If awarded the University must sign a Declaration of Honour (DoH) as part of the EC requirements for commencing an H2020 grant. Within the DoH there are 7 declarations that the University must certify, 6 of which we are fully satisfied are true for every grant. However, for one of the declarations (#6) we must carry out further investigations before we are able to sign the document. Declaration #6 states the following, ‘I will inform the Agency of any other grant applications or grants from the EU or Euratom budget related to this action’.
To fulfil the request to certify this particular declaration if awarded you will be asked to complete a table with any related grants or applications that you feel might be relevant and sign an agreement to confirm this declaration is adhered to before the University will sign the DoH. The University has requested clarity on the term ‘Related’ but is yet to receive a satisfactory response so please assume any current or past EU grants or applications are related if there is any overlap whatsoever and list them as requested.
