NEW: GSEV Fellowship – National Mobility Program (First Announcement)
We are excited to launch the GSEV Fellowship, a brand-new national mobility program designed to complement our well-established European MOVE Fellowship. The GSEV Fellowship supports short-term laboratory exchanges within Germany, enabling members to transfer techniques, learn new methodologies, and build collaborations across our national EV community.
Program at a glance:
Funding of up to €1,000 per fellowship to cover travel and subsistence for a short-term lab visit within Germany.
Open to GSEV junior members – technicians, PhD candidates, and early-career postdoctoral researchers (≤5 years post-PhD); career breaks considered individually.
Both the applicant’s home lab and the host lab must be based in Germany; the host PI should be a GSEV member.
Two calls per year, with deadlines aligned to the MOVE Fellowship (next deadlines: 31 October 2026 and 31 March 2027).
Awardees present their fellowship work at the next GSEV meeting and contribute a short report to Trillium EV.
The first call is now open. To apply, send a single PDF to info@gsev.org that includes a CV with a publication list, a one-page motivation letter, a one-page project outline with a short work plan, a letter of support from the host lab, and estimated travel costs. Applications are evaluated by the GSEV Board, with decisions communicated within four weeks of the deadline.
