The HRSMC Fellowship programme aims to support and reinforce high-quality research within the HRSMC. Within the programme, visits by outstanding foreign researchers (postdoc level and higher) to HRSMC-affiliated research groups are financed.

The HRSMC strongly welcomes applications, which

  •  stimulate cross-fertilization between differently-affiliated HRSMC research groups, involving 2 or more applicants from different groups, and
  • support fundamental, not directly application-driven research.

Who can apply?

Staff members and associated members (RU-members; as a second applicant) of the HRSMC with a permanent position and tenure trackers. Applications in which staff members of 2 or more different research groups are involved have a higher priority for funding (if other aspects are comparable).   

Applications can be submitted twice a year, before April 1 and before October 1 and can be sent to hrsmc-science@uva.nl.

After granting, the visit should start within one year of the date of approval. It is important to note that the visiting fellow should be employed by her/his home institution during the visit to The Netherlands. Exceptions on the starting date can be requested by email.
