The call for applications is ongoing for the 2024 Abel Visiting Scholar Program for Mathematicians Professionally Based in Developing Countries.
The International Mathematical Union’s Commission for Developing Countries oversees the Abel Visiting Scholar Programme, which receives full funding from the Abel Prize in Mathematics.
The goal of the Abel Visiting Scholar Programme is to provide a month-long visitation to an international research collaborator for mathematicians with professional bases in disadvantaged nations.
The course is intended for post-doctoral mathematicians who are just starting in their professions. It aims to provide the chance for a “research sabbatical,” which mathematicians who wish to maintain a successful research programme find essential as a supplement to teaching and other academic responsibilities.
Duration: one month
Benefits
The grant can cover for one month and only for the applicant up to 4,400 EUR (5,000 Dollars):
- Travel costs
