MOVE Fellowship

The purpose of the MOVE European Mobility Fellowship is to foster collaboration between the members of different European EV Societies and Networks. The Fellowship will enable Early Career Researchers (the applicants) to travel to another lab in Europe (the hosts) to develop both their technical skills and enlarge their own professional networks. 

The Fellowship is intended for PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral researchers (≤ five years, excluding career breaks). Both the applicant and the head of the hosting lab need to be current members of their own national EV society/network. 

The fellowship is for travel and housing (but not bench fees) to work within a host lab at an academic institution in a different European country for up to three months. This year, FISEV will award two research visits with a maximum of €2000 each to be carried out and reported by 12.12.2025. 

Process:

1. Look up host labs registered with the project link here.

2. Plan a project and justified cost breakdown including total cost and self-funding part*. The application form can be found here.

3. Contact the host lab directly to discuss your proposed project.

4. Apply for the fellowship by filling in the form along with appendices and sending it to info.fisev@gmail.com (Subject should say MOVE application) by 30.6.2025 23:59.

5. The applications will be reviewed by four independent reviewers of the FISEV board (If an application is from the reviewer’s own laboratory, they are excluded from the review process of that application).

6. The awardees will be notified by 8.8.2025 by email.

7. Each awardee is required to report the progress and outcomes of the MOVE fellowship period in writing by the given date and in a next suitable Nordic EV Science Club with a 20 min presentation.

*Please note that plans where there is also self-funding allocated will be preferentially treated.

Please note, the intellectual properties, non-disclosure agreements and data ownership is held with the host labs and we recommend the home lab of the participant and the foreign host lab come to an agreement on these matters.

Good luck with your applications!
