The Niels Henrik Abel Board and the International Mathematical Union invite applications from mathematicians professionally based in developing countries to visit an international research collaborator for a period of one month.

The program is designed for post-doctoral mathematicians in the early stages of their professional careers. It is designed to offer the opportunity for a ‘research sabbatical,’ a necessary complement to teaching and other academic duties for mathematicians desiring to also sustain a viable research program.

WORTH

The grant can cover for one month and only for the applicant:

  • Travel costs to the host institution (economy flight or equivalent) Please note that the flight will be booked and directly paid by the IMU Secretariat.
  • Accommodation expenses (monthly rent should not exceed 1,200 USD – in case you expect higher accommodation cost, please explain in your application the expected higher cost)
  • Travel health insurance
  • Basic living cost (daily allowance based on living cost of the visiting country/city, this amount includes the cost for public transport and all other living costs).
  • Visa costs

  • Hold at the time of application a PhD in Mathematics,
