Residence conditions

Residence conditions are set out in an individual convention drawn up jointly by IMéRA and each resident prior to arrival in Marseille.

This convention sets out in detail the material conditions for the residence (financial conditions, accommodation, travel details, administrative formalities, etc.).

Financial conditions are examined on a case by case basis, with the underlying basic principle that either a working contract will be established or a flat rate allowance will be paid, taking into account the loss of income and the increased expense arising from the period of stay at IMéRA.

If the resident is a member of a University, that institute will be invited to participate in the costs (through a sabbatical allowance or delegation, or by any other means to be negotiated with the IAS).

In all cases, IMéRA will fund travel expenses, accommodation and living expenses for the duration of the resident’s stay.

Residents are asked to provide copies of such publications to IMéRA for our archives.
