brief description:
Branco Weiss Fellowship – Society in Science is a community of exceptional young scientists who share a passion for taking research beyond the mainstream. Colleagues are given the means to pursue their personal vision of a particular scientific project independently – in the best possible locations, anywhere in the world
the main objective:
The fellowship is awarded to post-doctoral researchers for up to five years. As it continues after promotion, some colleagues become faculty members during their fellowship. Besides the passion for research itself, branco Weiss’s colleagues and graduates share a tendency to communicate outside their field of study and with society as a whole.
The fellowship is designed to support postdoctoral researchers after phD. And before their first appointment to the faculty. The goal is to award up to ten fellowships each year. Researchers pursuing unconventional projects outside the mainstream of science, engineering and social sciences may come forward. Those in current postdoctoral positions are also qualified.
