Aim and Benefits of INQUA Fellowship Program For International Mobility

The fellowship covers (part of) the costs associated with travel (economy class) and expenses (subsistence, accommodation etc.) of the fellow while living abroad up to a maximum of € 15000. 

Requirements for INQUA Fellowship Program For International Mobility Qualification

The applicants must fulfill the following conditions:

• Early-career scientists (ECRs) – graduate students and postgraduates within 8 years of receiving their final degree. This period of 8 years does not take into account periods of time taken not working as an academic or because of taking time off because of family responsibilities. Scientists who have been working for less than 8 years and who have permanent (tenured) positions, may still be considered as early-career researchers.
• Developing-Country Researchers (DCRs) – researchers who are working in low income or lower middle income economies (see here for list of these economies). In applying this guideline, INQUA will take into account that inclusion or exclusion from the World Bank list may not be an adequate reflection of the levels of science funding or funding to individual scientists.
• Individuals willing to conduct research at host research institutions in foreign countries. 
• Research topics should be related to INQUA’s scope (https://inqua.org/about)
• Applicants can benefit from the INQUA Fellowship Program only once.
