International Teams consist of up to 15 researchers with complementary scientific expertise, affiliated with institutions in at least four different countries worldwide. Teams include a minimum of 20% Early Career Researchers (ECRs; within 5 years of PhD award). They hold a series of two one-week meetings over a period of 24 months, with the possibility of a third meeting in well-justified cases.
The aim of the Teams is to carry out a focused research project leading to publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals. Each proposal and Team is led by one or two Team Leaders, who are responsible for overseeing Team activities and serve as the primary points of contact with ISSI and/or ISSI-BJ for all aspects of coordination and planning. Though in close contact with the scientific staff of the Institute, Teams are largely autonomous in the execution of their project. Teams are set up in response to an Annual Call by ISSI, and proposals are evaluated and prioritised by the Science Committee. 🔭
