Knowing the right funding instruments and successfully applying for them helps to kick start your research career and might pave the way to your next job in academia. To help you achieve this, the UMCG and the RUG are teaming up this year to present the Young Talent Grants Week, a 2019 special event exclusively aimed at young researchers in their senior PhD and early postdoc years. The Young Talent Grants Week will focus on providing you all possible information for the prestigious Rubicon, VENI and Marie Curie individual grants as well as field specific information sessions organized by faculty funding experts and more! Registration is required and spaces for workshops are limited!

Join us during the Young Talent Grants Week on 22 and 23 May and look out for your faculty funding event around that date.

We are looking forward to seeing you there.
