Free University of Brussels (ULB) Solidarity Fund for researchers at risk


23 March 2021

EUA member Free University of Brussels (ULB) has created a Solidarity Fund in order to provide support for researchers who no longer have the freedom to pursue their research in their home country, where they are threatened due to the content of their scientific work or to the opinions they have freely expressed. The deadline for applications to the solidarity fellowship is 30 April 2021.


The solidarity fellowship consists in a one-year postdoctoral position, amounting to 42,000 euros gross (approximately 29,000 euros net), plus a discretionary relocation allowance of 2,500 euros net (payable to researchers’ resident in another country, after their move to Belgium).

The recipients will carry out research in a ULB research centre, supervised by a member of the University’s academic staff. They may, if they so wish, take part in teaching activities or any other scientific activities organised on campus.

The call for applications is also available in French.
