Postdoc fellowships to non-EU researchers

- The Postdoc Fellowships to non-EU researchers are definitively stopped. No more call will be organised. -

In a nutshell...

The stimulation of international mobility and the attraction of researchers from abroad is one of the priorities of the European Research Area.

In this context and intending to stimulate the S&T cooperation, the Federal Science Policy Office (BELSPO) does implement a fellowship scheme for highly qualified non EU researchers (i.e. postdoctoral level or equivalent experience), granting them an opportunity to work during 6 to 18 months in a Belgian research team.

This initiative started in 1991. Till now already 750 fellowships were granted:

  • Number of fellowships per country and per year: till 2016
  • Number of fellowships per country and per year: till 2005
