ELLIS MSc Hosting Programme

The Amsterdam ELLIS unit financially supports short visits of talented master students to the University of Amsterdam. The ELLIS unit Amsterdam MSc hosting programme can be used to cover costs of MSc students obtaining a degree related to Artificial Intelligence that visit an ELLIS member at the UvA in the context of an existing collaboration between the host researcher and an ELLIS member in a different country.

Who can apply?

You can apply for funds from the ELLIS unit Amsterdam MSc Hosting Programme if you are an ELLIS researcher at the UvA and would like to host a master’s student in the context of a joint project with an ELLIS researcher at an ELLIS partner institution.

The ELLIS Amsterdam Msc Hosting programme supports costs made by master students temporarily hosted at the UvA, but the application should be done by their supervisor and signed by both the student and supervisor.

What can be applied for?

The ELLIS Amsterdam Msc Hosting programme covers costs for short research visits of Msc students to ELLIS members at the University of Amsterdam. The ELLIS Amsterdam Msc Hosting programme covers up to 2,500 euro in costs. The minimum duration of the visit is one week. Eligible costs are:

• Travel costs to travel to the University of Amsterdam
• Accommodation costs in Amsterdam

Applicants to the ELLIS Amsterdam MSc Hosting Programme are asked to submit a reasonable estimate of the costs to be made (please see: https://www.caorijk.nl/cao-rijk/bijlage-6). The costs funded through the ELLIS Amsterdam MSc Hosting Programme are reimbursed retroactively upon submission of receipts, if reasonable.

How to apply?

To apply, ELLIS members at the University of Amsterdam can send an application form (word/pdf) along with the CV of the visiting student to ellisinfo-science@uva.nl. The form requires signatures from the local supervisor at the UvA, the ELLIS collaborator abroad, and the visiting student.

Applications will be evaluated on the quality of the student as well as the suitability of the project and collaboration.

Hosting students will get the opportunity to present their MSc thesis work at an ELLIS workshop organized for the ELLIS Honours and Hosting students as well as other ELLIS events.

The ELLIS unit Amsterdam asks the MSc Hosting students to acknowledge ELLIS unit Amsterdam in the acknowledgment sections of their papers and on their scientific posters or presentation slides. The students are also asked to provide to the ELLIS unit Amsterdam their research information. The name of the Hosting student, the research and/or paper information, and the conferences where the papers are published, if any, will be listed on the ELLIS unit Amsterdam website.
