There is also funding for research visits to the United States.

To apply you must hold a first degree in the areas of computer science, physics, mathematics, statistics or a related discipline, and normally, a PhD relevant to the research area or equivalent qualifications. Also, you should have demonstrated your research competence through high-quality and high-impact publications in top conferences and journals in the area of complex networks, machine learning and data mining. You should have a high level of analytical capability and ability to communicate complex information clearly. You should be fluent in relevant models, techniques or methods and the ability to contribute to developing new ones. Knowledge of machine learning and/or large data sets mining techniques (or willingness to acquire them) is really appreciated.
