Due to the changes in the US research landscape, scientists in the USA and in the global research community are facing considerable uncertainty.

In this current situation, the APART-USA funding program of the Austrian Academy of Sciences is supporting outstanding postdoctoral researchers working at a US university or non-university research institution who wish to relocate their research activities to excellent research locations in Austria.

Fourteen of Austria's universities and non-university research institutions with the strongest research performance have nominated a total of 25 outstanding scientists for APART-USA scholarships.
