The FRIAS Alumni Programme enhances the FRIAS fellow network by encouraging former fellows to return and by supporting established national and international research collaborations and communication networks. A key focus of the programme is to promote the involvement of early-career researchers in these projects and networks.
Anyone who has previously been a fellow at FRIAS, either as part of an individual fellowship or a research focus group, is eligible to apply.
The programme provides funding for ‘return-to-FRIAS’ visits lasting between two and six consecutive weeks for FRIAS alumni. An outline of the planned visit to FRIAS, preferably including two potential time periods, is required. Most FRIAS activities take place between October and July. Applications should be submitted at least four months prior to the intended stay.
Please note that, due to limitations in funding, accommodation, and office space, only a limited number of return visits can be supported. The Board of Directors will decide on the application within four weeks.
