Description
The AXA Research Fund was created in 2008 to encourage scientific research that would contribute to understanding and preventing environmental, life, and socio-economic risks. The Fund supports world class research in these areas by providing institutions with the means of attracting and retaining the leading scientists of today and of the next generation. The Fund seeks to support innovative and cutting-edge transdisciplinary projects, particularly as such projects may encounter difficulties in gaining support elsewhere.
Eligibility

- The international scope of the host research laboratory
- The quality of the conditions offered to the Post-Doctoral applicant by the host laboratory
- The feasibility (access to resources, etc.) of the project, and the impact of its potential results.
Duration
The Post-Doctoral funding is for a period of 1 year. A grantee may contact us 3 months before the end of their current Postdoctoral grant to request a renewal for a maximum of an additional year.
You are normally required to take an English Proficiency Test if you come from a non-English speaking country.
Most European Universities recognise the IELTS test. More information
