Individual Fellowships (IF) are a great option if you are an experienced researcher looking to give your career a boost by working abroad. They offer exciting new learning opportunities and a chance to add some sparkle to your CV.

TYPES OF INDIVIDUAL FELLOWSHIPS

There are two types of Individual Fellowships:

• European Fellowships
• Global Fellowships

European Fellowships:

• are open to researchers moving within Europe, as well as those coming in from other parts of the world.
• can restart a research career after a break, such as parental leave.
• can help researchers coming back to Europe find a new position.

These Fellowships are held in the EU or associated countries and last for one to two years.

Global Fellowships

• fund positions outside Europe for researchers based in the EU or associated countries.
• last between two and three years.
• the researcher has to come back for one year to an organisation based in the EU or associated countries.

Both types of Fellowship can also include a secondment period of up to three or six months in another organisation in Europe.
