About the Enrico Fermi Fellowships: The EFF program, managed by the Center for SpaceTime and the Quantum (CSTQ) and funded by the John Templeton Foundation (JTF), supports exceptional graduate students worldwide who are interested in fundamental scientific questions and eager to work across both theoretical and experimental approaches. Fellows receive competitive funding (up to EUR 105,000 per year) for 1-2 years, including salary support, travel allowances, and research funds for supervisors, along with mentoring and networking opportunities.
Our first cohort was highly successful, funding 11 outstanding fellows across diverse institutions and disciplines. You can learn more about their work at cstq.org/eff/first-cohort.
The success of this program depends on reaching the right candidates globally. Your networks are invaluable in helping us connect with exceptional students who might benefit from this unique opportunity to bridge theory and experiment in fundamental research.
