4. Oberwolfach Leibniz Fellows |
back to table of contents |
We are pleased to inform you that the postdoctoral programme "Oberwolfach Leibniz Fellows" has recently been prolongated and is now included in the regular scientific programme at Oberwolfach.
The focus of this programme is to support outstanding young mathematical researchers in the realization of a proposed research project. The MFO provides full financing, including board and lodging, and the possibility to invite co-workers for a shorter period.
The institute offers an excellent infrastructure embedded in an international environment which is ideal for concentrated work during the stay at Oberwolfach. An application as an Oberwolfach Leibniz Fellow can be submitted any time.
Applications can also be arranged through an application within the European Post-Doctoral Institute EPDI.
