IMU Abel Visiting Scholar Program 2024 for Mathematicians (Up To 4,400 EUR) Deadline: 30 April, 2024

The Abel Visiting Scholar Program invites professional mathematicians from developing countries to spend a month visiting an international research collaborator. For visits lasting more than one month, applicants must provide evidence of financial support from the host institution to cover living expenses after the first month.

The program is intended for post-doctoral mathematicians in the early stages of their professional careers. It is intended to provide the opportunity for a’research sabbatical,’ a necessary supplement to teaching and other academic duties for mathematicians who wish to maintain a viable research program.
