- The country of the fellow’s citizenship—Czechia (CZ), Hungary (HU), Poland (PL), Slovakia (SK), and in 2024 also Ukraine (UA)—must differ from the country of the host institution
- Potential fellows must either be full-time doctoral students or holders of a doctoral degree (regardless of their affiliation at the time of applying)
- The planned fellowship length is within the period of 2–10 weeks
- The support is paid in the form of a lump sum scholarship amounting to €500/week paid in two instalments (80% and 20% respectively)
- Scanned valid ID document
- Scan of the doctoral diploma or a proof of enrollment in doctoral studies program
- Letter of invitation signed/stamped by the host institution detailing the precise length of the fellowship, its concrete nature, and the intended outcomes
- A letter of recommendation issued by the applicant’s affiliated (home) institution or by a relevant expert (for non-affiliated applicants)
Note: Due to limited capacities, preference will be given to those fellows who have not yet been supported in the past and whose proposals sufficiently justify the choice of the host.
