Category A
fellowships can
be awarded to doctoral candidates selected by EMJD consortia,
who come from a “Third country” (other than Member
States of the
European Union, an EEA-EFTA State, Turkey, the Western Balkan countries
or
Switzerland) and who are not residents nor have carried out
their main
activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over
the last
five years in one of these countries. The only exception to this rule
applies
to Third-Country doctoral candidates who have previously received an
Erasmus
Mundus masters scholarship in order to follow an EMMC. Category B
fellowships can
be awarded to any doctoral candidate selected by EMJD consortia
and who do not fulfil the Category A criteria defined above.
SETS
Joint Doctorate EMJD tender 2010,

6 Category A
fellowships
4 Category B fellowships
COMILLAS
will draft students’ PhD contracts
and allocate the funds as specified in the individual fellowship table
set out in
the programme guide for Category A and Category B research contracts:
- Fixed contribution for travel, relocation and any other costs: Category A fellowship: €7500. Category B €3000.
To be allocated to students and paid in equal instalments, depending on
the student’s pathway during the 3 years of the EM doctoral-fellowship.
- Fixed living allowance (gross): €2 800 per month,
during 36 months - 3 years
funded by the EM doctoral-fellowship for both Categories. Students will
be parties to an employment contract, which according to Spanish labour
law, includes social security, health care insurance, tax and the
student’s net monthly allowance; student insurance will also be
deducted from this amount.
Where
students also need financing for
their fourth year of SETS studies, the universities will draw on their
own
funds and on funding from private companies and other sponsors to
ensure
students complete their doctorate. Each HEI may make fourth year
arrangements
in accordance with its usual practice for doctoral students.
Subsequently,
the doctoral student and the
coordinating institution will sign a doctoral candidate agreement that
will
transparently reflect the rights and duties of both contracting
parties, and in
particular:
For the student: research
freedom, recognising particular research circumstances and supervisory
or
operational constraints; ethical principles, professional
responsibility and
attitude; contractual and legal obligations; accountability towards the
HEIs,
other associated partners, the European Commission, and society as a
whole;
best practices in research; dissemination and exploitation of results
(including co-authorships and co-ownership); public interest and
concerns;
relation with supervisors, tutors and other SETS management bodies; and
finally
continuing professional development. For the HEIs and the
coordinating institution: students will be accorded junior researcher
status,
subject to an employment contract and to the rights and duties
established by
European and national legislations. The HEIs will adopt the principles
of
non-discrimination; provide an adequate research environment and
resources;
productive and adaptable working conditions as required for different
research
needs and situations; stability of employment during and after the EC
fellowship period; fair and attractive salaries and other benefits;
gender
equity; career
development framework;
support for productive mobility (of the essence of the SETS programme
itself);
continuous development and training culture and environment;
appropriate
protection of intellectual property rights and copyrights, including
co-authorship and co-property; effective and close supervision,
tutoring and
coaching mechanisms; participation in specific teaching activities
(never
taking precedence over research targets); transparent and fair joint
evaluation
mechanisms; effective management of complaints and appeals and
participation in
decision-making bodies (students will participate in the SETS
Supervision
Board).
