Postdoctoral Fellowships 2024 Call
Postdoctoral Fellowships offer the possibility for an individual postdoctoral researcher to receive funding to cover a 2-3 year fellowship with an identified host institution. The fellowship can be 'European,' taking place solely in an EU Member State or Horizon Europe associated country, or it can be 'Global,' where there is a project period with an organization in a country outside Europe and a return phase to an organization in an EU Member State or a Horizon Europe associated country.
Ukrainian researchers can apply on equal terms with researchers from other countries.
