The first ten Embassy Science Fellowships will start in the course of 2022 in Pretoria, Nairobi, São Paulo, Jakarta, New Delhi, Seoul, Tokyo, Istanbul, Moscow and Paris.
Each year, NWO invests almost 1 billion euros in curiosity-driven research, research related to societal challenges and research infrastructure.
NWO’s core task is performed in the NWO domains, research institutes and regional bodies: encouraging quality and innovation in the sciences.
NWO gives its employees the space to optimally use and develop their talent, where trust, pride and pleasant cooperation are a priority.

ESF-NL offers embassies and consulates access to expertise in science and technology. Researchers from universities and other Dutch knowledge institutions can contribute to activities that strengthen scientific and diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and the host country.
The Embassy Science Fellows can, for example, be used for meetings with foreign scientists, for giving advice or for carrying out studies or technical reports.
Scientists can subscribe to the profiles and submit a proposal to one of the 10 selected posts for the 2022 pilot. The selected Fellows will be stationed on site for between 1 and 3 months. The embassy or consulate will help you find accommodation and a place to work.
