Ageing research: FLARE 2 Postdoctoral Researchers

The aim of the FLARE 2 Programme (Future Leaders of Ageing Research in Europe 2) is to promote future ageing research by supporting an interdisciplinary exchange of postdoctoral researchers in Europe. FLARE 2 projects shall be multi- or interdisciplinary projects in the field of ageing research. FLARE 2 is a pan-European programme that is jointly funded by several European countries that are members of the ERA-AGE 2 ERA-NET. The first FLARE call was carried out in 2007.

Each organisation participating in the programme provides funding to postdoctoral researchers of its own country. The Finnish funding bodies participating in the call are the Academy of Finland‟s Research Council for Health and Research Council for Culture and Society.

The call was open in October 2010.
