Deadline: 31 August 2025
The purpose of the EAN Research Fellowship is to support training and experience for European neurologists in any area of basic, clinical, or applied research in neuroscience. The research work must be carried out at a European academic neurological department outside the country of residence. All applications should demonstrate experience or training of clear value to the home department or individual beyond that available in their own countries or institutions.
Research training fellowship
Expected to be of typically 12 months and no less than 6 months duration, to lead either to completion of a higher degree, a grant application or a peer-reviewed publication.
Research experience fellowship
Expected to be no more than 6 and at least 3 months duration for individuals who might otherwise not have the opportunity to gain high quality research experience, but who may wish to pursue a research career. Applications from more experienced clinicians or researchers requiring training in a specific research methodology or technique not currently available in their own country and of clear value to the home department will also be considered.
Award
Successful applicants for both research training and research experience fellowships will be awarded €2,000 per month (plus travel expenses of up to €500).
Notifications will be sent by the end of November 2025, and successful fellowship can be valid retroactively from 1 September 2025, if applied for that term.

You can also browse through some articles where former fellowship participants report about their experience and give useful tips.
