DJRG Fellowship programme: practicalities and deadlines
Oftentimes we accept applications from two fellows for the same week, which further stimulates a dynamic experience and conversation. We encourage applicants to propose several weeks they potentially can come and visit, on odd-numbered weeks. We prioritize to accept fellows for October and March, occasions for which we organize workshops to discuss ongoing research with our fellows.
Submit fellowship application by March 1st for fellowship periods in the fall (September-November).
Submit fellowship application by September 1st for fellowship periods in the spring (January-June).
