Go8 European Fellowships – call for applications
The Group of Eight (Go8) today opened applications for its 2012 European Fellowships.
The Fellowships are open to early career researchers from Bulgaria, the
Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania,
Slovakia and Croatia.
For the first time this year the fellowships will also be open to applicants from Russia.
Each fellow will receive benefits worth up to $20,000 to travel to
Australia in 2012 and work at a Go8 university for up to six months.
“The Go8 European Fellowships recognise the importance of international
contacts for early career researchers and aim to help establish
Australian links for talented young researchers from emerging European
economies,” said Go8 Chair, Professor Paul Greenfield.
“The scheme has been running for five years. The alumni of this
important Go8 scheme establish life-long professional and personal
connections and continue to collaborate with Australian researchers
when they return to their home institutions,” Professor Greenfield
concluded.
“This fellowship was a life changing experience for me. I am sure that
the knowledge accumulated here will have a great impact not only in my
academic career but also in the education of Romanian students at the
University of Medicine and Pharmacy where I teach.” Dr Magda
Cuciureanu, Go8 European Fellow 2010 (The University of Adelaide)
“All the professional contacts I made at The University of Queensland
are invaluable and I have offered to host UQ academics at my home
university.” Dr Martina Horakova, Go8 European Fellow, 2008
“The Fellowship gave me a great opportunity to further develop the
ongoing co-operation with The University of Sydney, as well as to
upgrade my research skills.” Dr Iva Strnadova, Go8 European Fellow, 2008
“I was involved in a great scientific project. I never would have this
opportunity in Poland (or even in Europe).” Dr Klaudia Borowiak, Go8
European Fellow 2009 (The University of Melbourne)
“ANU provided me with superb research opportunities. I still have an
ongoing project with a PhD candidate at ANU.” Dr Zoltan Petres, Go8
European Fellow, 2008
“The experience actually exceeded my expectations. I did more than I
could dream, all thanks to the very open and very friendly approach of
Australian researchers.” Dr Katarzyna Zawalinska, Go8 European Fellow,
2009 (Monash University)
Applications close on 21 October 2011.
