Proposed programmes can cover any research disciplines („bottom-up“), but exceptionally, can also focus on specific disciplines. COFUND takes the form of Doctoral Programmes or Postdoctoral Programmes.

There are 2 types of COFUND:

1. Doctoral Programmes. They offer research training activities to allow doctoral candidates to develop and broaden their skills and competences. They will lead to the award of a doctoral degree.
2. Postdoctoral Programmes. They fund individual advanced research training and career development fellowships for postdoctoral researchers.

Requirements: COFUND projects should last for up to five years and should recruit at least 3 researchers.
