  • Call topics change year to year so it can be worth waiting for a topic that fits your research expertise, and then take care to match your proposal to the call
  • Be realistic about what you can achieve in one year and don’t overload your proposal
  • The foundation favours interdisciplinarity and the opportunity to open new avenues of research
  • Having plenty of research experience is not necessarily required, as long as you can demonstrate your potential and explain how the fellowship will be instrumental in your career plans
