DOROTHY COFUND Programme: Webinar

A DOROTHY COFUND Programme Webinar takes place on Monday 7th March 2022 at 3pm. This webinar will provide prospective applicants with key information regarding the upcoming call, application process and eligibility requirements. It will also outline the programme’s unique values in terms of training opportunities and as a powerful career accelerator.

The DOROTHY COFUND programme aims to break down barriers between different academic disciplines by driving collaboration between researchers through funding research which will shed light on public health crises from wide-ranging perspectives. 25 fellows will be recruited through 36-month fellowships with all nationalities welcome, including all researchers based in Ireland.

DOROTHY will create a critical mass of well-networked experts, from all disciplinary areas, who will be fully able to engage with the Irish and EU research and innovation ecosystem. It will support fellows’ career development, through an innovative multidisciplinary research and training platform, supervision and mentoring, and prepare them for future career opportunities, tackling future public-health crises.

DOROTHY COFUND will recruit, train and launch the careers of 25 excellent fellows through 36-month fellowships.

Fellowships will have an international outgoing phase of 18 months, followed by a return phase to Ireland of 18 months. Fellows will be encouraged to include a non-academic secondment. Two recruitment calls will be run. The programme will assist fellows in accelerating their careers through excellent training and networking opportunities in the Irish and EU innovation ecosystem.
