Postdoctoral Fellowships (PF)
Postdoctoral Fellowships provide opportunities to the most promising experienced (postdoctoral) researchers of any nationality to acquire and transfer new knowledge and to work on research and innovation in Europe and beyond. The Postdoctoral Fellowships, lasting between one and three years, are based on a jointly made application by the researcher and the host institution.
