The Fellowship Programme enables bright young scientists from all over the world to work on a challenging problem as fellows of leading European research centers. In addition, an ERCIM fellowship helps widen and intensify the network of personal relations and understanding among scientists. The programme offers the opportunity to ERCIM fellows:
* to improve their knowledge about European research structures and networks
* to become familiarized with working conditions in leading European research centres
* to promote cross-fertilization and cooperation, through the fellowships, between research groups working in similar areas in different laboratories.
How are the fellows selected? Each application is reviewed by one or more senior scientists in each ERCIM institute. ERCIM representatives decide on the candidates to whom Fellowships are offered, taking into account the following:
* the qualification of the applicant
* the overlap of interest between the applicant and the hosting institution
