GreenDeal-NET is pleased to announce the Short-Term Research Grants, a unique opportunity for early career researchers, including PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, specialising in climate and sustainability policy and governance studies to help early career researchers develop their research skills and strengthen their academic networks.

Unique opportunity for early career researchers! PhD students and post-doctoral researchers specialising in climate and sustainability policy and governance studies can apply for a short-term research visit to some of Europe's leading universities in this field.

The fellowship is part of "The European Green Deal: Governing the EU's Transition to Climate Neutrality and Sustainability" (GreenDeal-NET), a Jean Monnet Network under the EU's Erasmus+ programme. GreenDeal-NET provides a platform for knowledge exchange and collaboration on education, research and debate in the field of European climate governance and sustainability. Its main objective is to advance academic research and teaching on the EU's transition to climate neutrality.

In addition, it aims to engage academics, policy makers and the general public on these issues. The researchers selected for the fellowship are expected to make a significant contribution to the network with their research results. This call is the first of three rounds of calls for GreenDeal-NET short-term research fellows. Between three and five researchers will be funded. The next calls will be launched in 2024 and 2025.
