Minerva Fellowship
Minerva Fellowships are granted to doctoral and post-doctoral researchers. The minimum funding period amounts to six months in both cases. Doctoral scholarships are initially granted for a maximum of twenty-four months. Exceptionally and under special circumstances, there is the possibility of extending them up to 12 months.
