Individual Fellowships at the Université libre de Bruxelles

Objective

The Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB) is a world leading research institution in which a number of scientists have gained
recognition from international panels, including 4 scientific Nobel Prizes and 23 ERC grants.
IF@ULB is a comprehensive fellowship programme providing to experienced researchers the opportunity to conduct frontier
research and receive diversified training and career guidance in an environment of scientific excellence with state-of-the-art facilities. Under the
supervision of renowned academics, IF@ULB fellows will benefit from an extensive collaboration network with academic and
non-academic institutions and the continuous support of the ULB administration.
IF@ULB will propose three calls within a five-year programme. To impact the post-doctoral policy as widely as possible in
the host institution, the project will be open to all fields of research. The recruitment will be organised through three panels:
Social Sciences and Humanities, Physical and Engineering Sciences, and Life Sciences. For each call and each panel,
IF@ULB will offer to fund 7 experienced researchers for their two-year projects, which amounts to 126 fellowship-years
during the action. The proposed selection will be based on the practices implemented in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie
Individual Fellowships and will comprise the following elements: support from a ULB academic staff member, a three-stage
evaluation procedure on the basis of three evaluation criteria (excellence, impact, implementation) and a final ranking by the
corresponding thematic panel.
Moreover, IF@ULB proposes a comprehensive communication and dissemination plan at programme and project level.
IF@ULB’s aim is to reinforce the international character of ULB by building up current experience on international fellowship
programmes, to establish its role as a reference in research and training activities in Belgium and Europe, and thereby to
strengthen human resources at both national and European levels.
