For many researchers, professional experience abroad is an important step in their career. The Rubicon grants makes it possible for young academics to work at a foreign institution that offers the best environment for their research. A total of 22 applications were awarded funding by NWO/ZonMw in this round.
Rubicon grants allow academics to work at a foreign research institution for up to 24 months. The amount of financing depends on the chosen destination and the duration of the stay. Each year, NWO/ZonMw can fund around 60 young researchers within Rubicon (for a total amount of 7 million euros, divided over 3 rounds). The grants in this article concern the combined 2nd and 3rd financing rounds from 2021.
