International Training Fellowships

The Foundation clearly recognises the importance of giving young scientists the possibility for research training in renowned institutes. Usually, this training is devoted to learning new techniques and performing short research projects not possible at their current institute. In addition, research training of promising scientists from developing countries at top institutes is one of the aims of the International Training Fellowships.

Applications should be accompanied by a letter of invitation signed by an appropriate authority of the institute where the work will be done and by a letter of recommendation of the current head of department.

International Training Fellowships are available for a maximum of one year only. The maximum fellowship grant amounts to € 25,000. By the end of the year a progress report must be submitted. In all scientific publications emanating from the fellowship grant, acknowledgement to the Nutricia Research Foundation should be made.

Usually, two International Training Fellowships are granted each year.
