What is a Distinguished Lorentz Fellowship?
The Distinguished Lorentz Fellowship (DLF) is awarded to a leading scientist to work on cutting-edge research at the interface between the Humanities and/or Social Sciences on one hand and the Natural Sciences and/or Technological Sciences on the other. It consists of:
· A residential fellowship at NIAS of 5 to 10 months including on-campus study and accommodation,
· Replacement funds for each month spent at NIAS up to a maximum of €3,800,
· A workshop at the Lorentz Center on the fellowship topic with full organizational support (budget €20,000),
· A personal prize of €10,000.
Distinguished Lorentz Fellows are nominated by prominent figures from within the (Dutch) academic community. The Fellowship is awarded annually at the discretion of the NIAS-Lorentz Center Advisory Board, chaired by Professor Sijbolt Noorda.
