On behalf of the Research Council of Lithuania we would like to inform you about the call for proposals for Post-Doctoral Fellowships. The Research Council of Lithuania, the main RTD project funding body in the country, on April 14^th, 2017, launched the first call for proposals for project funding under the measure No 09.3.3-LMT-K-712 “Strengthening the Skills and Capacities of Public Sector Researchers for Engaging in High Level R&D Activities,” activity “Promotion of Post-Doctoral Fellowships” of the Operational Programme for European Union fund investments in 2014–2020.

Why is there more matter than antimatter in the universe? The reason might be hidden in the neutrino nature: one of the preferred theoretical models assumes, that these elementary particles were identical with their own anti-particles. This in turn would lead to an extremely rare nuclear decay process, the neutrinoless double-beta decay. The experiment GERDA now has reached a most important improvement in the search for double-beta decay by reducing the disturbances (background) to an unprecedented low level making it the first “background-free” experiment in the field.
