The SAFE project offers 60 fully-funded fellowships (up to 24 months) for at-risk researchers.
Non-EU researchers (doctoral/PhD candidates or postdoctoral researchers) who are experiencing risks such as discrimination, persecution, suffering, or violence are eligible for the program. Researchers at risk, both outside and within the EU, can receive funding.
It is important to note that only host institutions within the EU are eligible to apply.
The application platform is open until January 20, 2025:
