Associate professor econometrics Dr. Chen Zhou and assistant professor applied economics Dr. Thomas Peeters received together with eight other talented researchers the annual EUR-Fellowships from the Executive Board. The EUR-fellowship consists of a position that is subsidized by the EUR for a maximum of four years. For every position there is a maximum amount of 150.000 euro available.
With the the Erasmus University wants to offer extraordinarily talented young researchers the opportunity to carry out research. By doing this they get the chance to pursue a successful scientific career. The EUR-Fellowships offers talented researchers more assurance. It has become more difficult for recently graduated researchers to secure a permanent position at their university or acquire research funding. Researchers that have submitted an admissible proposal for a NWO Veni, NWO Vidi or an ERC Starting Grant, but who in spite of receiving a good evaluation, for budgetary reasons did not receive funding from NWO or the European Commission, qualify for a EUR Fellowship.
