Each year, the Foundation awards twelve scholarships to selected postdoc researchers, especially junior professors, and heads of junior research groups from all scientific disciplines. The objective is to reinforce the autonomy and creativity of the up-and-coming generation of scientists and to pave the way for the committed researchers’ careers during their productive postdoc phase.

Applicants must be in temporary employment; the scholarship can only be requested to support the applicant’s own research project. It may be used either to expand an ongoing project or to facilitate an entirely new one.

The funding amounts to €40,000 per scholarship for a period of two years and can be used for various purposes, for example to finance scientific assistants, technical equipment, research trips or participation in conferences.
