Transfer of Research Projects to SISSA

Several individual competitive calls currently use the "money follows researcher scheme", that allows researchers to leave their current Host Institution to move to a new one taking the project with them. SISSA is willing to welcome top scientists and their prestigious awards. With this respect, we give any kind of support needed in order to complete the project transfer.

There is not a standard procedure to transfer a research project to SISSA, this means that each funding authority requires different project transfer procedures and documentation and each research institution has its own rules.

Therefore, if a researcher would like to move to SISSA with his/her grant, he/she has to contact us by e-mail at research@sissa.it to receive support in:

• Negotiation with the current Host Institution and the funding authority to execute the project transfer
• Preparation of institutional documents signed by the legal representative of SISSA as the new Host Institution
• Arrangement of all internal documents and procedures to finalize the project transfer

Moreover, the Mobility service, offers support for international mobility, such as for example visa procedures and other fulfilments.
