MOVE European Mobility Fellowship 2026
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 their technical skills and expand their own professional networks.
The Fellowship is intended for PhD students and early-stage postdoctoral researchers (≤ five years, excluding career breaks). As a prerequisite, the applicant will need to be a member of FISEV, and the head of the hosting lab will need to be a current member of the National EV Society or Network of the host nation.
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 and to a maximum value of €2000.
The application period opens on 1st April 2026 and will close on 31st May 2026. Successful applicants will be informed by 10th June 2026 and will be able to plan their travel immediately after that. The exchange visit needs to be carried out and reported to FISEV by 15th December 2026. The Fellowship funds will be paid into the recipients’ bank account based on a detailed travel budget. The production of completed expenses form together with suitable receipts for travel and accommodation will be reported at the end of the placement. Unused funds (or without receipts) will need to be returned to FISEV.
