Gergely Fellowships

Stefan M. Gergely-Fellowships for Biodiversity

The fellowships are granted for outstanding dissertation projects on research questions relating to biodiversity.

Application for a Gergely fellowship is open to highly qualified young researchers at a university on Austria who

• completed their diploma/master’s degree no more than two years prior to applying (dated from 1 July of the year of submission) and
• submit an exposé of their doctoral thesis and a recommendation letter of their doctoral supervisor.

The doctoral fellowships recognize achievements in basic research for the understanding of biodiversity and natural and near-natural ecosystems at all levels.

In particular, the fellowships are intended to give young researchers the opportunity to prepare a competitive application for third-party funding in order to ensure the financing of their doctoral studies.
