The AXA Fellowship is a funding scheme aimed at supporting young promising researchers on a priority topic aligned with AXA and the Society. Host institutions must be registered in the AXA Research Fund’s database. Institutions can apply only when a call for projects is open. Projects which are not directly linked to the call for proposals' topics are not eligible. Institutions can present only one candidate for the whole institution (and not one per department, faculty or laboratory). Candidates should be maximum PhD+ 5 years with proven scientific excellence and high potential for innovation, transformation and dissemination.
