Dear GEIVEX members,
The first round of the 2025 GEIVEX Mobility Fellowships is now open. As you know these fellowships are intended to support Early Career Researchers.
In this call, we will fund two fellowships with a maximum of 2000 € each. Applications must be sent to secretaria@geivex.org before May 30th 2025, indicating in the subject “GEIVEX mobility fellowship 2025” and the name of the applicant. The results will be communicated to the awardees before the end of July, and published on our webpage. GEIVEX Mobility fellowships will cover travel, accommodation and maintenance expenses of exchanges between a GEIVEX-associated researcher and a GEIVEX-associated laboratory.
Fellowship applications should comply with the following conditions:
1. Activities eligible for funding: Traveling, lodging and maintenance expenses only. These must be incurred during a stay of a GEIVEX researcher in a GEIVEX host laboratory for a minimum of 2 weeks and a maximum of three months. Under no circumstances will the GEIVEX Mobility Fellowship cover expenses beyond the maximum amount of 2000€.
GEIVEX Mobility Fellowships are not intended to support expenses associated with attendance to scientific conferences or workshops.
2. Requirements: Both the recipient of the fellowship and the Principal Investigator of the host laboratory must be GEIVEX members in good standing.
For informative purposes you can find a map of GEIVEX groups here.
However, this is not a closed list, so if you plan to move to a lab that is not listed, please contact us so we can check their eligibility.
3. Documents to be provided (in English):
- Completed application form (see below)
- CV of the applicant
- CV of the Principal Investigator of the host laboratory, including list of publications of the last 5 years
All applications should be sent as a single pdf file with the format ApplicantName_GEIVEX mobility 2025 to secretaria@geivex.org. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated. An email confirming receipt will be sent to applicants.
4. Evaluation Criteria:
Applications will be evaluated by the following scientific panel of GEIVEX board members:
Dr Jose Antonio López Guerrero
Dr Lydia Alvarez Erviti
Dr Gemma Chiva-Blanch
Dr Gloria Alvarez-Llamas
on the basis of scientific quality and interest for the EV field.
Early career researchers will be prioritized, as well as applicants with longer GEIVEX membership.
The resolution of the Evaluation Committee is final, non-appealable and will be published on the GEIVEX webpage. The title of the funded project will be also published on the webpage; however, the objectives will not be disclosed until completion of the stay. The Evaluation Committee will not engage in correspondence with the applicants.
5. Fellowship payment
The recipients of a fellowship will provide GEIVEX a bank account number for the transfer of the granted fellowship. An initial amount of 750€ will be transferred to the researcher bank account before the start of the stay. Once the visit has concluded and after GEIVEX has reviewed the relevant invoices, the Fellow will receive the remaining justified amount of the fellowship.
