Who can apply

Senior Associateships are intended for scientists with an international recognition for their work.

All applicants must hold a PhD, have their main affiliation in a scientific institute in a developing country. Awards given to scientists who move to a developed economy will be suspended or cancelled.

The programme is intended for scientists between the ages of 46 and 65 at the time of application.

After the end of an Associateship, it is possible to be selected again, for the same or a different category of Associateship. It is recommended that at least two years lie in between consecutive Associateships.

Entitlements

Senior Associateship awards have a six-year duration and a fixed allocation of funds. These funds are made available for visits in the form of a living allowances and/or travel expenses. During the six years, Senior Associate Members may apply to visit the Centre as often and for as long as they wish, until the allocation is exhausted, although the maximum duration of any visit is 60 days.
