Fellowship Grants

What are Fellowship Grants?

The AiNed Fellowship Grants are intended for Dutch academic research organizations looking to strategically invest in attracting AI talent for positions such as (tenure track) associate professor, associate professor or full professor. The selected AI experts contribute to both foundational and applied research and strengthen the national AI ecosystem.
