German Academic Exchange Service | SAFE Fellowships
Together with its partners Campus France, UNIMED and the PAUSE programme hosted by the Collège de France the DAAD launched the project "SAFE- Supporting at risk researchers with fellowships in Europe".
The SAFE project is launched in September 2024. The goal is to support up to 60 researchers a risk from around the world with a fellowship at a research institution in the European Union. The fellowship has a duration of up to 24 months. The European Research Executive Agency (REA) has provided 12 Mio. EUR for this endeavour.
SAFE offers 60 fully funded fellowships for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers of any non-EU nationality to spend up to 24 months at a research institution within the European Union. Fellowships will be awarded under two tracks:
- Track A: At-risk researchers currently outside the EU.
- Track B: At-risk researchers already within the EU.
European higher education and research institutions can suggest non-EU researchers for funding. Researchers cannot apply directly for funding. Researchers with recognised refugee or subsidiary protection status are eligible.
