Four Calls for applications
Fellowships for top international researchers in all disciplines to join the University of Montpellier are the hallmark of the MAK’IT Institute. These fellowships are funded on the basis of various eligibility criteria to support the international research collaboration and the interdisciplinary dialogue between sciences in order to achieve sustainable development goals.
Our fellowships at MAK’IT bring together key researchers from around the world to engage with the emblematic university community in the fields of agriculture and food, the environment and health. More than just a career stepping stone, these sabbatical opportunities build on academic freedom and are important milestones in building cross-disciplinary collaborations around transitions, and advancing the frontiers of knowledge, far from the constraints of academic life.
