The ATTRACT programme aims to build on the excellence, dynamism and creativity of research in Luxembourg by attracting young researchers with a high level of ability in science or technology and proven experience in a professional research context. The programme is designed for researchers not yet established in Luxembourg; it offers them the opportunity to set up a research team within a public-sector research institution in Luxembourg that is willing to host them. Research proposals should therefore be submitted jointly by the candidate and the host institution. Host institutions will offer candidates the prospect of integration in the medium term into their activities.

Projects submitted should be innovative and of high scientific quality and candidates must be able to show that they have gained a minimum of two and a maximum of eight years’ professional experience since successful completion of doctoral studies. Funding is allocated for five years and projects may require up to € 1,000,000 as a contribution from the Fund. The fields of research targeted are those prioritised by public-sector research bodies in Luxembourg. Exceptionally, research in other areas of proven relevance to Luxembourg may be included.
