* GSRT launches the new "Career Awarding in Greek universities, research centres and institutes" Programme, which will be financed by EU as well as Greek state funds, under the Operational Programme for Research and Technology (EPET II). It is reserved for Greek-speaking researchers having at least a two-years post-doctoral research experience abroad and living and working abroad at the time of the call for proposals, for a period not less than two years.

* The Career Awarding Programme aims at attracting distinguished young researchers, in order to join research teams in Greek universities, research centres or institutes and carry out specific and well-defined research, technology and training activities.

* The knowledge of the Greek language is considered as a strong cultural link between those scientists and Greece. Thus it is expected that Greek-speaking researchers will be interested in moving to Greece for a rather long stay (three years) with a view to contribute to the upgrading or further development of the research and technology activities of the Greek research teams.

* The proposal for a Career Awarding project must be submitted to the GSRT by a research unit attached to a university or a public research establishment in Greece which consists the Host Research Unit. The selection of the "foreign" researcher is left to the responsibility of the Host Research Unit upon criteria of scientific excellence and through transparent procedures. Particular attention will be given on that each interested research unit gives the widest possible publicity to its intention to host a "foreign" researcher.
