Scientific Research Opportunity: FRIAS Fellowships for Academics in Cape Verde

FRIAS Fellowship 2027–2028 This represents an unmissable opportunity for the academic and scientific community in Cape Verde seeking to broaden their research horizons to the highest international level. Organised by the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS), the prestigious institute for advanced studies at the University of Freiburg in Germany; this programme invites senior researchers from all fields of knowledge to carry out their projects in an environment of excellence that is highly interdisciplinary.

A Key Boost to an Academic Career

Participation in the FRIAS fellowship programme enables Cape Verdean lecturers and researchers to devote a period of time exclusively to academic work, temporarily relieving them of their usual teaching and administrative duties. During their stay in Germany, fellows have access to:

  • Exemption from teaching duties: A complete focus on the drafting, analysis and development of high-impact research projects.
  • Global network of contacts: Daily interaction with an international community of renowned academics, fostering the exchange of ideas and long-term partnerships.
  • Outstanding resources: Full access to the University of Freiburg’s libraries, laboratories and state-of-the-art facilities.

Strengthening Science and Cooperation in Cape Verde

The participation of academics from Cape Verde in this initiative is a crucial step towards strengthening the archipelago’s scientific ecosystem. Exchanges with European institutions not only raise the profile of national researchers on the global stage, but also facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the emergence of joint projects that can address the specific challenges of sustainable development, the ecological transition, public health and Lusophone and island culture.

If you hold a PhD, have extensive research experience and wish to teach and conduct research in a leading international environment, this is the ideal opportunity to advance your career.

Details and Application

Interested applicants should prepare their applications in advance, ensuring that they meet all the academic requirements set by the German institution.
