Research Fellowship Programme

Making connections

The Faculty of Arts of the University of Groningen introduced a new fellowship programme in 2024. We invite early career researchers and internationally renowned senior humanities scholars to come to our vibrant city to make connections: with our researchers, with our students and with the residents of Groningen. To share their expertise and learn from ours, to strengthen and expand scientific networks, give expert lectures, collaborate in publications and to explore possibilities for a joint grant application.

The fellowship programme fits well with the University of Groningen's overarching ambition of making connections. With a rich heritage and an academic tradition dating back to 1614, the University of Groningen is an academic community with a strong sense of belonging and a culture of innovative education and research. It is an academic community where we are curious, ask questions with an open mind, and engage with each other and with society. We do this by making connections: connections across academic disciplines, connections between research and education, and connections with societal stakeholders. By learning and collaborating across borders we can tackle today’s multi-dimensional challenges.

The 2024 deadline has passed. Information about the 2025 deadline will be shared here in a timely manner.
