Postdoctoral excellence programme (PD_18)

Modified: 16 August 2018
Reading time: 15 minute(s)
From the Postdoctoral excellence programme (PD_18), with a total budget of HUF 1.5 billion, 68 researchers won a three-year scholarship.
The scheme proportionally fits in the domestic portfolio of competitive calls and aims to co-finance the employment costs of researchers, who have recently obtained their doctoral degree, thus helping them to stay in the research sector and build their career by joining a research group and cooperating with experienced researchers..
In 2016 the NRDI Office significantly reformed the funding system of postdoctoral research and fellowships in order to clearly separate research grants from fellowship grants (which only finance wage-like costs) within the various funding schemes, in line with international practice.
Of the proposals submitted for the Postdoctoral excellence programme, accepting the recommendation of the decision preparation bodies, the President of the NRDI Office selected 68 project proposals for funding with the following distribution between fields of science:
