2021 Yale Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program

The Maurice R. Greenberg World Fellows Program

We enable extraordinary individuals, from across the globe and from diverse disciplines, to increase their capacity to make the world a better place.

Each year, the Program selects a diverse cohort of World Fellows to spend four months together in residence at Yale University to grow intellectually, share knowledge, strengthen skills and expand networks.

World Fellows are people of character, integrity, energy and talent. They are dynamic, creative, disruptive and innovative. They are selfless leaders who serve, inspire and motivate others. They have demonstrated impact, they are on the rise in their careers, and they are ambitious to grow to their full potential.

Established in 2002, the Program now has a network of over 300 World Fellows contributing to their communities in 90 countries, connected to each other and to Yale.

ERC Starting Grant mentoring event

 

This online event hosted by the Young Academy of Europe (YAE) on 21st September 2020 welcomes researchers from EU13 and Associated Countries who are interested in applying for a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant. We wish to provide guidance and support to young applicants from under-represented nations by connecting them with mentors who have successfully navigated through the process.

The event will start with a plenary information session for potential applicants and a short Q&A with a representative from the European Research Council Executive Agency (ERCEA). This is followed by three parallel sessions focusing on each ERC research domain: Physical Sciences & Engineering (PE), Life Sciences (LS), and Social Sciences & Humanities (SH). These sessions will be moderated by YAE members holding ERC grants who will give an overview of the domains, answer questions, and get to know the participants looking for mentors.

Participants from other countries may register, but priority will be given to researchers whose prospective Host Institution is located within the EU13 and Horizon Associated Countries, and who are planning to apply in the January 2021 call.
