Open Fellowships will offer a new vision which enables researchers to design a fellowship to fit their research ideas, their career stage, development needs and leadership aspirations. The scheme will be open for all EPSRC remit areas, including multi-disciplinary work.
Key characteristics of the new scheme include:
- Increased opportunities at early career stage onwards;
- Opportunity for applicants to focus on innovation or instrument/technique development or to champion an area of research citizenship;
- Allows a high degree of freedom, flexibility and support for talented and ambitious researchers
Further details, including an open call for applications, will be published on the EPSRC website in the autumn/winter 2020. Researchers that currently have a Fellowship will be not be affected, and the current EPSRC fellowship call will be open until December 2020.
Please note this is a preliminary announcement and some details may be subject to change.
