With this ‘Grant for a scientific stay in Flanders’ the FWO aims to keep on stimulating international scientific collaboration by giving postdoctoral researchers, regardless of their nationality but affiliated to a non-Belgian research institution, the opportunity to visit a research group in Flanders for a period of min. 1 month up to max. 3 months and bringing as such excellent and necessary expertise to Flanders.

Funding

  • travel expenses (one-time return trip to Belgium)
  • daily allowance of 66 EUR (with a max. budget of 1,650 EUR per month)

Submission Guidelines

For each visit the scientific added value for Flanders should be clearly demonstrated in the application: Why does the Flemish research group want to welcome this specific foreign researcher?

The foreign researcher has to directly submit an application through the FWO e-portal, in English, at least 3 months before the date of departure. It is crucial that the following obligatory documents are uploaded in the online application:

  • A short scientific CV.
  • A letter of the institution (employer) of the applicant including a confirmation that the applicant complies to Art. 2 §2 of the regulations;
  • An official invitation letter, signed by the inviting researcher (host), in which the exact period and necessity of the planned scientific stay is clearly motivated as well as the scientific added value of this stay for the research group in Flanders.

For all details regarding the eligibility, application- and evaluation procedure, we kindly refer to the following specific webpages:
