What is I2CAM?

• On Aug. 15, 2004, the NSF awarded an
  International Materials Institute Award for 5
  years at 700,000 per year for the establishment
  of an International Institute for Complex
  Adaptive Matter (I2CAM).
• The goal of I2CAM is to nucleate an international
  institute without walls networking between
  the 18 US ICAM branches and our European partners
  at Cambridge, Paris Consortium, Karlsruhe
  Consortium, Ecole Polytechnique Federale Lausanne
  (affiliate), Dresden Max Planck Consortium,
  Erice, ICTP Trieste, and Leibniz Institute
  Dresden, Sabanci University (Istanbul), The
  University of Zurich, our Israeli partners in the
  Tel Aviv University/Weisman Inst./Hebrew
  University consortium, and our Japanese partners
  at the University of Kyoto and the Institute for
  Solid State Physics of the University of Tokyo.

Fellowship Guidelines

• Can send from US branch -gt anywhere abroad
  (preference to ICAM nodes abroad)
• ICAM branch abroad can send to any US ICAM branch
  
• Fellowship timeline 2-6 mos
• Support travel costs and perdiem (ballpark of
  100/day /- depending upon local environment)
• Can be applicant driven (two mentors at home and
  host)-needs brief proposal, applicant CV letters
  from mentors-all online now
• Mentor driven two mentors at home and host
  propose exchange then identify candidate

Junior Fellowship and Travel AwardsforCorrelated
or Biological Matter Research

• I2CAM invites graduate students/post-doctoral
  researchers to apply for its Junior Fellowship
  and Travel Awards.
• Fellowships available to support for 2-6 months
  between I2CAM institutions for collaborative
  research.
• Full travel and generous perdiem support
• Students may apply directly (Track 1)
  orthrough mentors (Track 2).
